Gentle Slumbers

Ashes, ashes on the ground
no one was found among the ruins
of this silent town, and though
the hard-boiled air carried wisps of weepy fog,
no one cared.

Mounds of flesh and bloody faces
drowning in a pool of hate
lay still in the peace hell brings to those who wait
for beauty.

Bitter cries and shuddering
echoed in a dark white sky,
where no one heard, and darkness
brought the one thing this place lacked-the ignorance
of betrayal.
