Bloody Roses

The petals of newborn flowers flow in the winds 

spreading their toxic vapor of life into the air 

they swim in a breeze of plague 

breathe in a wave of disgust and fallen warriors 


Their time for tyranny is over 

for humans will rule 

they rule upon the backs of their people 

breathe the poison of their sins 

they walk upon an earth 

an earth split in a web of cracks 

they shatter a delicate creature 

they kill their own salvation 


The humans have come 

The flowers have withered away to shreds 

They rose their hearts of dominance and solitude 

to greet dusk and the ending 

the ending of their beginning 


The humans 

through their greed 

through their humanity 

claimed the souls of the dying 

shred the humanity from the inhuman 

and walked upon a shattered earth 


Their time has come 

A rose shall bloom 

white as the purest snow 

only to be stained by the flaws of human 

to be stained a permanent crimson
