Superman is Dead

Greek tragedy and false hope
A broken pen with no way to cope.

A bleeding heart and pages stained 
The silent gasp of innocence pained

The world continues to turn 
As all the angels begin to burn

An evil has tainted all the light
As empty souls pray of endless night

Unheard cries and systemic lies
Cut like knives through shattered lives 

Children left poisoned by the fathers sins
Today is the day the demons reign begins

I watched as we climbed the inspired
But sadly came the dawn all hope expired 

Burdened with the weight of truth
Searching for heroes in every phone booth. 

I find my search in vein
As I learn life is only pain.
