Ordeal

Landscapes of rubble and corpses clouded by dust and flies
 Scattered rifts in the earth, relics of tectonic fury
 Breathing sulfur and pestilence, the air is foul and dry
 Ruthlessly, the die has been cast: sentenced to adversity
 Broken
 Fractured
 Shattered
 Awaken amongst ruins
 Crawling in clod and dust
 Amputated and helpless
 Forever wounded to the soul
 Missed
 Death
 Bonded
 To
 Life
 Broken
 Crippled
 Forsaken
 In this hellhole
 Dispossessed
 Of bodily integrity
 This ultimate trauma
 Took away your autonomy
 Forever scarred
 Stared at with pity
 Gaze of sadness
 Always in need
 Beggared by men and now by this earth in this burned paradise
 The only way out of this rotten state; the feeding hand of hypocrisy
 Taking back more than it will ever give; false benevolence
 Fabricated helplessness making you liable for your misery
 And this tragedy
