acid rain

all the words
come crashing down
all the words
I want to say.

it's impossible
to interpret them
when they're actually
acid rain.

broken

my heart weeps
for the cruelty of man
that would shoot a bear
yet leave the cubs
growling, trembling,
defending but a corpse.

i mourn the loss of humanity
in the man that is broken.
i pray for the one 
lost in vicious ego
displaying his brokenness
in breaking another,
with nothing, not a fragment,
of himself remaining.
