Sirens wailing, discarded death memory

Pestilential winds swoop in from the coast

Blinding gas of industrial waste, cyanide gas suffocating lungs

Overgrowth of plants through recently abandoned avenues

Ejection of the hope that blinds your sight

Human order turns savage so quickly

Subjugation, thievery, violence

Enslavement, and murders for fun

Bombed-out city center, hoarding ammunition and water

Ruined neighborhoods, each reeking household

A journey to an abandoned life

Displays of a courtesy which has curdled like milk

Into something disgusting and insidious

Gas stations and refineries seized by would-be warlords

Executions of whole families by jaded, grotesque mercenaries

Flaking skin, sand, bloated corpses of dogs

Scavenging divine in the yield of ruination
