The Human Cruelty
and the hearts of glass
Angels fell off the sky to
Be the hope for this world to
Change the way humans see
Darkness cannot win.
Every move we make
Foreign language that we speak
Gestures people won’t forget
Human kind refuses to understand…
Ignorance is bliss
Justifying their actions
Killing your spirit
Looking for new victims
Maybe one day they’ll understand
Not everyone is made of steel
Only they don’t care
Practicality of this world
Questioning absolutely nothing but then
Restless hearts made of glass
Some of you turned them into art
Time ticking bombs in your minds
Urging you to create
Vultures circling above your heads
Wind gently caressing their wings
Xanthatic acid dripping down their beaks
Your lives were never supposed to end like this but then
Zombies released by the ones of steel

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”
