618. No Limits

No limits to her madness she sat quite content
The bloody knife lay dripping by her side
Life and death were but the same in a world now mad
No sanctuary possible for those with no place to hide
Sun dried carcasses laid across the yard with care
Peaceful expressions not visible on face left to burn
Civilization created the creature that now runs amok
Those never offered faith no option where to turn
Sullen promises heed not the desperate will to live
Justification for murder somehow written in holy stone
So quickly life is ended for those who cannot speak
Love never possible for those born to die alone
So little is known and no effort made to better understand
Sordid lies dispel the truth of feelings soon led astray
No tears are ever shed for the millions of slaughtered animals
Prayers never made as fires burn and barbeques blaze away
