A lost world

Why, my love, is there such hate,
So much injustice in the air?
Why does deceit so dominate,
I cannot grasp it nor compare.

We, who walk life's fleeting beam,
Like wild beasts roam upon the land,
We vanish like the morning dew,
Without belief, without a stand.

In this world so quickly fading,
To save love's light from dimming low,
A thousand butterflies take wing,
Yet perish too, like all below.

What can we do, with none to guide,
Where does our love now truly lie?
It seems forever lost, denied,
An eternal silence in the sky.
