The dread you see

"Dystopia:
dys·to·pi·a
disˈtōpēə/
noun
  1. an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one"




the ugly scenes,
the ugly sins,
the fallen cities with their broken walls,
the bloodstains/the acid rains
the persistent aches and maddening pains,
all the dread your eyes would view,
isn't anywhere..
but inside..
..of..
..you.

 you see the death of a poet,
 you see demise of their art,
 you see a chaos, you see a riot,
 you see the end,
 but not the start.
 You see the siege of Baghdad,
 the crusades,
 the holocaust..
 heaven falls, the two world wars..
and Odin's slaughter in Valhalla's halls.

 you see fallen men with sorrowful eyes,
you see their dreams confused with lies.
 you see disappointments,
 you see their tears,
 their broken hearts and demanding fears.
 you only see the burns when you look at a star,
 'Cause you see the world 
- not as it is-
 but as what you are.

 you are frustration, you are a maze,
 you are confused and in a broken phase,
 you are both genocide and manslaughter,
 you're the heartless burial of an alive daughter,
 you're not only a fear,
 you're a damn phobia,
 you.. on your own,
 are a whole Dystopia.
