Shattered View

War turned all hopes shallow, emptied dreams turned fallow
When did we ever worry about the violence inflicted on earth
Staring into the empty world, outside of my broken window
The world now is decayed, bone dry dust, skeletons and worse
Aware that all has been lost, humanity has passed into shadow
How did I survive, was I lucky, or had I suffered a grave curse
Life bled out, in war, and every great city is now nuclear aglow
We've no hope, nothing left, but a dying dry bone thirst
