Heroin

Mountains burn red and yellow

Seas empty and boiling

Clear blue sky is hollow

No honey, the bees are dying


Mother hears the children's cry

Self inflicted wounds, and yearning addiction

Mother doesn't care if they the children die

Earthquakes and Monsoons, signs of oblivion


Melting ice and shrinking shores

Crops of dust lost to the sun

Parking lots and clothing stores

Cutting trees until there is none


Mother hears the children's cry

Self inflicted wounds, and yearning addiction

Mother doesn't care if they the children die

Tornadoes and Monsoons, signs of oblivion


Black blood burns like heroin

 in the desert sand

Shallow graves only for burying

Tensions stretched like a rubber band

Under the mushroom cloud

With a bang; ends with a whimper

Bright light and a loud sound

Blanket of ash to make a winter
