I do believe man’s lost control

And in this life now plays scant role

No matter what he’ll do or say

I do not think he’ll have his way

He’s handed all of our defense

To those who are devoid of sense.

Just look around what do you see

Blank faces lacking industry

They cannot spell or cursive write

They’re neither smart nor oh so bright

It makes me sad since I’m unsure

How can I help us be secure.

Who ever thought there’d come a day

When all our dreams were flushed away

And we are left alone to grieve

For all those joys we shan’t receive

Oh foolish people weak and frail

Too bad that ship’s already sailed !

 

 

 

 

 

YOUR COLORS TRUE ( 2016 ) 2016/04/12

To those of you who can’t recall,

One war was fought to end them all

How foolish was it that we thought

This war would be the last we fought !

The lesson that we should have learned

Our history too often spurned,

Like those who never went to war

Don’t have a clue what war is for !

The bloody battles, millions dead

Broken bodies, hunger and dread

These mean nothing, you weren’t there

You have not known this great despair !

You think that war is just some game

Untouched by loss, you are the same

You sleep, you eat, you talk the talk

But you have never walked the walk !

Oh cowards all, that’s who you are

You speak  so grand from oh so far

But show us now what you can do

Tis time you shared your colors true !

I met a boy I know not when

So long ago remember then

How is it that I can’t forget

Within this life a deep regret ?

I’ve turned a corner in my mind

While searching but I cannot find

The special closeness that we shared

And like most hopes were unprepared.

We did not meet, no not today

As other strangers had their way

And yet the past is always there

It mattered not  how much we cared.

In all our dreams it’s far too late

No matter then how long we’d wait

The sadness that I can’t deny

We never got to say goodbye !
