Good life if I find it
Always never there
Love life if I seek it,
Life is never fair.
Sinners don't repent
Lovers always cheat
Singers don't always sing
Losers face defeat.
Nothing sure but death and numbers
Choices always made
Living or forever slumber
We will soon just fade.
Spouses will always lie,
Friends always gossip
Arguments end in a tie
Children giving parents lip.
Drugs and booze rule the world
Murder looting o' so common
Twisted crime all unfurl
Just to rid their boredom
The world gone corrupt
Sin rules everywhere
People die so abrupt
They never give a damn or care.
My child runs to me
Eyes red and hollow
His friends turned against him
Who left for him to turn to
He weeps and cries upon my chest
His screams and wails I try to smother
Offering my comfort, my solace no less
He accepts it with no struggle
As I engulf him in my arms
He pours it out to me
Hoping for some sympathy
So I give it to him
Because he is my son, my star
Starlight shining from up above,
Gleaming down like a dove,
Pale light waning in the night,
Stars don't give forever light.
Sunlight creeping up the horizon,
Sneaking up on sleeping men.
Darkest night now long gone,
Redbreast starts her morning song.
Morning's here after long last,
Revealing damage from that night's blast.
Fire, bombs, bright gunlight,
War and terror rule the night.
Yet through all these happenings,
Starlight through the pale sky sings,
Through wars or peace or complete mayhem,
The stars still shine without end.
A flower falls
A dazzling white
It all ends
Papers scream
A-bomb dropped!
The
fires burn out
Hope has died
Children have died
And more shall.
It does not
go away
The pain
The radiation
Does their guilt?
But it ended the war
They say
We believe it
Do they?
Does this mean
War only ends
When lives do
When dreams
do
When spirits do?
Well?
Does it?
