Of My Home



Stare the faces do, of who I once knew,
Strangers now from friendships that once grew.
All of this place that once I called home,
I see only broken souls where once pride did roam.
Replacing happiness with bitterness of a different kind,
It is my respect for my home I can no longer find.
The soil is tainted with demonic strange splendour,
With all lost souls now returned to sender.
Back to Heaven, back to Hell they go,
Fast Lane, slow lane, nobody will know.
The eyes are cold as hearts are to touch,
Soul's are lost to profit, harm and a cost too much.
