viewing the world with different eyes.

Your sitting in the darkness
the suns blocked by the night
everythings going backwards
and your trying to take flight


You realise its a bind,
trapping your fragile mind,
you break out
and without a doubt
the world is there to find.

Then your running through the streets
looking at your feet
watching every step you take
its me your trying to meet

you stumble about to fall
into a big brick wall
when i catch you
you know its true
that i give you my all.

We kiss in the lifting mist
which seems like a brief time
i take your hand and lead you through
the maze of hate and crime.

tanks and troops roll by
they're sent off to die
in some foreign land
with dunes of sand
the reason is a lie.

They came looking for us
me and you and others too
all they found was innocents
who only believed their god was true.

we hide behind some rubble
this war has burst our bubble
our freedom's dead
the tear's we've shed
don't seem to ease the trouble.

we reach the city limits,
and go to the gateway out
the sentry's looking down at us
but he doesn't curse or shout


he kneels down on the floor
a tear forms with eyes so raw
he says that he was tricked you see
into serving for the military
he wishes he'd ignored the lies before

he smiles at the two of us
the pity in his eyes
handing you a flower
he breaks the miltary ties

He throws off his badge and cap
the border gate's barrier went with a snap
the guard is seen
a shot kills him clean
and his head falls in my lap.

I shed one last tear of anger
how come the people who suffer in war are good?
you tell me to run
thats the thing with the world,
evil doesn't die but should.

 

seriously this was a crap poem i wrote?... or whatever...

 

I loved it danny!

 

cheers mon... it was poo, but then again it was written more as a song.


Only took 5 mins so what the heck.

 

I love this poem Danny....


The way it's written is technically great but the message is the strongest thing that leaps out to me here.

Beautiful
