Black

 

Dead, defunct and withering hope.
Rauciousness and raggedness.
Withering, dead and defunctive hope.
Nauseousness and maggot flesh.

Losing, lying, suffering, dying,
All of life's cold treats.
The viral plague of happiness turned to
Withering defunctive deadened bleats.

Black as night, blackened end,
Black with deaths refining grin.
All told tale of misery,
Black with night times mystery.

Losing, lying, struggling, crying
All of life's cold times.
The sickening sneers of laughing lips
Turned black with death toll chimes.
