I don't want to know the circumstances
nor do I wish to address the further meant
of any pain
life gets clawed to death enough as it is
by the foolish chances
while acidic opinions fall upon our unprotected
heads
carried down like the once so pure rain
the mean spirited grow stronger
as their pray, the weak
quickly stumble to fall
the issues to address manage to grow
longer and longer
why, if I had the choice of any dream
it would simply be to save ourselves from the
ruin of us all
no more, no less
and as always to be able to walk forever forward
and be blessed
this I lay down pride and promise for my Lord.......
