All I See Is Night

All I see is night
blackness, death, and decay
My world turns dark as the blood red sunset
is devoured by the hungry night sky.

The light that is my life slowly dies as if wounded
and left in a cold dark forest to die

The once suffered children look up
at me from their graves
the hole in which they were killed by flame
merciless fire like rabid wolves
on the tail of a hundred rabbits
the faces are gone
they hold no memory
of those that they once identified
they lay there burning
in the uncovered grave
unworthy of a funeral

All I see is night
The dark and silent night
The air, filled with the stench
of rotting and burning flesh
I look down at the pits
in which my people lay
They are dead
I never knew them yet
the memory of them still haunts me
decades later

Now I know why the sun has gone
It is because my God has gone
and taken the last bit of beauty with him
All turns dark and I see no more
only feel the evil lurking in the shadows
hovering around me
This evil is not Lucifer preparing
to take me to my doom
I am already in a blazing fiery Hell
this evil is that of my captors
the workers of the man who thinks he is God

The one who would take
families and babies and elders and children
and rip them apart
burn them in his pits
and never bat an eye

Loneliness hangs above me
like a demon in the sky
my mind fills with the darkness of night
and my life, becomes lost
and my soul melts away
with those children in the fire

Even when the suffering ends
my people will leave traces of their pain
of their deaths
of their lives
of their faith

I will remember the time of my own liberation
I will remember the holes that are my eyes
and the lifeless skeleton which is my body
and the emptiness that is my heart

All I see is night
that dark, evil, blood stained night
that night that became
my life at the time of my capture
Yes, night is all I see
my life which is an eternally silent,
cold,
rancid night
all I see is night
