I was reading a book and it prompted me to write this:
One More
You hear it,
every day,
So loud,
So menacing,,
Yet it goes unnoticed.
You see them,
People,
People you know,
People you don't,
Walking in,
Happily
Knowing too few will stumble out,
only to be trampled to the ground,
by those going in.
"One more going to his death"
You say, as you see them going in.
"One more successfully destroyed"
You say, as you see them stumble out.
Too few join you,
Never entering the machine,
The destructive machine,
of the civilized world.
