As I Look Away...

See the faces
  not of flesh
  but figures
Staring at me now
  as I ponder, I wonder
How

How could one stand the sight,
  remain,
    and not take flight or fight
How dare one stare right back
  into the void
   of all We lack

As I look away
  grey skies dim
  sun falls ill
    with the loss of will
I look away
  as darkness builds
  blots out light
   & all it yields

As I look away
  the blind/dead stare
I look away
  as I still care

Through apathy, cynicism, nihilistic disregard
  the blood still flows
    from all that's scarred
The sight of all this cold blood pales
  just as the scene of all that fails

As I look away
  I can't turn back
I look away
  As all fades black

As I look away
  It remains and stares
I look away
  as nothing dares

I no longer see
  nor wish to be seen
As all I see
  Should be in quarantine
As all I'd be
  is viewed Obscene

As I look away
  Disdain does too
I look away
  as most things do
Unable to see
  what else to do
