Wallow World

Wilder are the flowers, wilted are the trees
Wakened is the dead who were once what they'd been
What was nature is now withered
What can bare is now warped
I bid woe to all weakened wanderers
Trapped in a world beyond their wants
Wisps of air wandering wherever aimlessly
White shadows walk weightlessly
Seeking for justice in a windless void
Tempted to leave, but then they'll just be toyed
