What can you see from there?
Can you see excited smiles on the faces of civilians,
Illuminated not with light, but with hope?
Can you see the dreams of those people –
Dreams for the present?  Dreams for the future?
Can you see the faith they have,
Faith in others, faith in themselves?
Can you see true purity?

Can you see anything?

The hope that once brightened the smiles of many has dimmed,
Leaving despair to fill the void.
Dreams crushed,
Faith shattered,
Pure becoming impure.
Falling
                            Falling
                                                            Falling...



Nothing can be seen from here.
Wow, and after I promised myself mo more emo 'poetry'. o.o

Doesn't even make that much sense...

Anyway! This was inspired by a couple of lines from the manga/movie 'Tekkonkinkreet' a.k.a. 'Black and White' a.k.a. that manga with the scary little boy. The rest just happened.
