The Evident End

Life...its meaning lies in the hearts of those who've walked its path
Those...who try to take it away
Must bear the pain of the toll
The flowers, as they sway
in the wind which carry the voices of the suffering
The grass, on which they stand bathe in tears of sadness from the sky
The light on this earth is fading
The shadows in the water, wading
The trees whisper voices which aren't audible
Although their meaning is projected throughout fields, valleys:
The end was too obvious, now you can see
Now you must die, and I say, "Yippee for me!"
The screams and the shouts of the hollow bodies
Are heard by those who try to exist
But their wails and moans overpower them
Heard from the living, prayed to the dead
From now, until the beginning to come
