Death as entertainment and it is Broken Bad.

Death as entertainment and it is Broken Bad.
Crushed under foot,
Boots blindly trod
Over tender green shoots,
Struggling for life,
Through the cracks
In a cinder block
World.
The bones of recovery
Ground into the dust
Of another barren day.
When the promise
Of spring
Is blown away,
On a sterile,
Scouring
Changeable wind.
It blows, both hot
And cold.
Harvesting lies.
Sweeping the hopeful
Into dark margins.
Cutting a swathe
Through sleeping giants.
Playing with fear,
Nurturing the neglected,
In carefully
Selected moments,
So easily networked.
And cease fires,
Barely burning.
Die, before
Their flame is caught.
Doused by the tears
Of the fallen,
As war begets war,
And even the dead cry.
