Veneer

From mountain summit to the valley’s below.
Suffering continues to flourish and grow.
Hopes have become only dreams.
Cause every night there are more screams.

Desperate cries filling the air.
Peace is not offered here.
Hell coated in a thin veneer.

Amongst these winding streets masking rot.
Bodies lie festering from having been shot.
Stench of misery permeates all around.
Citizens have been worn down by…

Desperate cries filling the air.
As peace is not offered here.
This is hell coated in a thin veneer.

Butchers declare themselves would be kings.
Narcissists sowing hate as frequently as butterflies beat their wings!

Shock and terror poured into now putrid air.
Oppressing people with a rambling leer.
Sense replaced by a fascist conviction.
Fixated on crushing independent free thinking!

Desperate cries filling the air.
Peace is not offered here.
Hell coated in a thin veneer.
