in the mad rush
to break through
millions were found dead
trampled by the crowd
as they ran crying and screaming
only trying to find themselves
blood covered faces
looking up to see
they had only been hypnotized
crazed bombs go off
in childerens eyes
thought to be fireworks
for all to enjoy
women clad in flowers
dance their souls away
for they know the extent of their use
and have realized they mean nothing
as in a line they walk towards death
green floors and cartoons
oversee the drowning
of a man in a drug induced coma
flashbacks make it red
forgotten photographs bring back memories
as a small child walks past the pews
watching as his mother prays for hope
wiping the tears from the small of her eyes
a boy turned down swings
as it all goes by
he comes home
only to find
he's alone
