Threads

 

World weave -
The threads of life bound together as one.
Mothers grieve -
Threads cut too soon, before they were done.
Shotgun shell -
Another life ended, somebody's thread was cut.
Personal hell -
Those left behind felt the door wound as it shut.
Threads unwound -
Weave falling apart at the feet of the mighty.
Promise unbound -
World dies from the death of the lone Aphrodite.
Broken dreams -
Dust coats the graves and can't count the cost.
Undying screams -
Their echoes the only reflection of what was lost.
Redress token -
Hollow vow of vengeance never pledged in truth.
Threads broken -
Innocence gone and the lives lost to the youth.
