The Pile


~By Eternal Cat


Looking through this trash pile
Is gonna take a while
It’s a grimace not a smile
Pass the junk back single file

Been working here for days
And not even the sun’s rays
Can pierce the heavy haze
That permeates this place

It’s like hell without fire
Each day hope fades further
We bear witness to murder
It’s right here, it’s right there

But don’t mind shedding a tear
You can show emotion here
Just press on, suppress your fear
The end of the day draws near
