Wet The Dust

he only water here is tears, tears to wet the dust
If tears could be harvested, there would be days of plenty
All is barren, drought of dreams, famine of a life to be lived
Clinging to the fine thread of existence, barely clutching hope
Each day feels like a burden, to be carried like a stone
Laughter long silenced in the burning kingdom of death
Sun beats down on her dark familiar days
Blackness of emptiness, to give smiles too frivolous
Her eyes see nothing but the path of despair
A road well travelled by those gone before
Misery leads, takes her by the hand
Laughs in her face at the dry river bed
In her mind she has already died, but the suffering lingers
The will to fight dwindling like flames of unattended fire
Take a number, wait in line for your fate
Where the devil deals nobody wins, but everybody plays
She wanders, she wonders, how soon the rains will come
To quench the dry that breathes disease
Only the flood of tears will fall
Tears to wet the dust

I think you have captured very well those horrific images we see to often in this so called advanced age.
If the object of your poem was to stop and make people think, you have achieved that with merit here. An excellent piece of work.
