How bleak is death
Silent or known
Remains a question

Forever a tragety
Rests without peace
Where spirits walk

Must families wait
Horror for hope
A living nightmare

How black is living
Where violence is normal
Survival becomes a trophy

What have we become
Where death is escape
Bodies becoming our currency

How to turn back
What has been done
Now is impossible
