Where are all those pleasantries and finding acceptance in this world of cold collections?
I don’t know how feeding my will can keep me in dreams to burn too soon along the way
Dismissive of life, love, the comedy of tragedy, where are my footsteps falling?
Leave me, take me, bend me, and break me
I’m vision, I’m color, and I’m existence in place
Clowns walk around knowing nothing but dictating policies that demand tribute, for what?
Crushing heart with war and diseases? High price of charity too easily released
Roll yourself up in your flag and your soft warm bed while others cry, die, and kill in your stead
Innocents lost in turmoil and tribulations befall everyone else but not all
I can’t erase my brothers and sisters on a whim of convenience or all the animals that give their lives to please us
Love, please find us, please save us
We’re not tokens, not flotsam in the sea
Nightmare images burning away hope one nightmare at a time
Waste and cruelty in the waning world below
We’re nomads wandering in aimless dismay, shocked that any of this was allowed to be
The suffering of the world is a symphony of screams
The wailing of mothers never ends but is not heard
If all the criminals were condemned, there would be no leaders in power
The rest of us could LIVE with that, stop breaking our backs!!!
I live in my mind too long sometimes
When recovery comes, I’m ill at ease
After the anger comes, the tears flowing out takes so damn long
I started as nothing but feel less now, freedom an illusion to hide pain
Seeing innocents in others makes my heart break
Don’t hurt the creatures, who still believe, don’t hurt them, us, me, please
Maybe my words go to no one or nothing, but I’m not alone in these feelings of wanting to live in peace
