CHILDREN OF TOMORROW
For Tom Trzaskos
Come see the children in this bleeding universe,
Their damn hearts bleed of sorrow,
Their forlorning eyes are in fire of innocence,
See the young’s reaching hands,
Reach for death as an eagle of satan picks at their innocent minds,
I say come watch them suffer,
Watch them cry,
In the universe of blood,
Children are young incubuses like you and me,
So pure they are,
But so bloody hearted they shall be,
Forlorned in dusty hell,
Children drowning in satan’s grasp,
Come watch,
See the children of tomorrow.
