World of Darkness
By: Alicia J. Buckingham
Behind our clean world
Is a world of darkness
A world of pain and anger
Of fear and agony.
A world so dark
The sun can't shine.
In this world
Criminals run free,
Weapons are sold in the toy aisle,
Cases are never closed,
And children are reported
Missing every other day.
In this world
The devils in charge
He's created it
So there's no other
Quite like it.
The flames of his breath
Send children screaming
And makes woman crawl home.
The living are left terrified
Of the dead's abilities
In the world of darkness.
