Poem

 Martial Law

Humanity buried on darkness by the light of the sun
Filled with fraud hopes
The crowns of men on powers abode closest to the light
While the weak, cornered in immortal night
Soldiers in green, coerce their law like a brutal commander
Because of it, people see the beginning of the end
Believing they would spend the liter of their lives in the dark
Just like the bat inhabiting the caves
Their souls are already consumed by the hot ice in the silent void
This is ---Martial Law
Indeed a curse yet still helpful to some extent.
