Political "Ruins"
I stand before the world darkest place
the empty dreams of four thousand years of humanity
the ruins of our lost.
Pillage you children before they have a mind to know
what you do to them
shoot their heros out of the once blue skies.
Burn the stars before they reach them
crush the love...that was once so pure
drown it all out in commerce
pour gas on the houses of our minds
torch the thoughts we once deemed purposeful
embrace the ignorance that spreads like a disease
watch the ruins of humanity
as they glide into the black sky
smoke stacked on smoke
billowing through our lives
a single man.....
crawls through the twisted steel of the ruins
to reach his badly charred hand out to a child
In that moment hope flashed through the tattered sky
the picture frozen in my mind
as i watch dreams die
as i watch the ruins grow
