ZEITGEIST (Dark)

These are the times we are living in,
when the hours are measured
by the ticking of time-bombs
and our slumber broken with wounded cries.

The taste of blood is unknown to none
though we choose not to see tears.
Smiles are forced and no
sign of mirth appears however hard one tries.

No more do the streets assume
the bearing of the City's Bride;
Lost is the innocent twinkle
which ever brightened those tramps' eyes.
