From politics to humanity's tricks, Outcries continue to pour in On a candle's wick. Bringing upcoming havoc To the new generation Known as Rick, Connie, Nick, Patrick and Vick. Too young to understand That devastation and complication Is on the rise In the mastermind's mind. Always seeking with not a care To whom one can compromise. Leading the weak to the blind. Leaving valuable measurements behind, No matter what the weight, Form, Length nor size, For green is the color Of American hopes and dreams. Causing treachery and deceit Which runs into the river of greed. Leaving visuals of beauty alone For it is never what it seems. Circling around a lighted torch Sets ablaze of drive-bys Being witnessed by figures Standing amazed and afraid On there porch. Clearless rings falls from the cheeks of the skies. In remembrance of hearing Abandoned babies cries Knowing the facts of the crackheads Lows and highs. One comes to the reality That the sirens of death never dies. Making time-lines cross In the midst of history. Seeing the fame of change is no mystery Sitting aside doing nothing Is our greatest misery Staring in the eyes Seeing the Cries of Liberty. « return. |
