Finger Painting
Finger-Painting
A warrior grazes on the beast of death.
While finger-painting marks the walls
As bombs fall within it's darken halls
With a sighing planets on its last breath.
Once a world of beliefs now reneged
The shells near not its intended mark.
Thunderbolts drop on the man of dark.
While the orb spits upon who begged.
No intervention from an earth in peril grasp.
Tree's burn in flames, houses flare in vain,
Nothing still stands by the criminally insane.
Like a tool upon the land leaving a barren rasp.
As a man's childish world of finger-painting art
Destroyed in him from a life he now departs.
