[bodytext] => Was it the choice of the innocent that the devil gave them his cards To deal at random? Was it their choice when their young eyes were trained Away from the deserved path of safety and security?To be dried in dust. To obey the fear,and to take life as they had their life taken from them. Who unleashes a monster without first having moulded them from their Failure,Failure as a human being,faults that deepen and widen swallowing Life and spitting it back, empty!. Eyes of hunger never full. A soul empty with only rage enacted in the footprints stamped across a mind That will chase the shadows of peace for all their days . A man’s face in the mirror, a child’s life sacrificed, divided by a river of torment That rises whenever the two come close, and there becomes a face Of two halves one the victim and one the perpetrator not a choice just the outcome Of inevitability melding into one.
