For how long will this be? that i lie here in solemn indolence and dream of sunrise in a rainy season as i roll sleepless in the bunks in the night that so hurt listen cricket glint sad tales. vision & dreams that never came true Frustration crude unzipping bitter tears from the eyes blinded by empty promises Today i'll rise and shine listen to vesper songs of glee and pray song give me a thread to mend a voice to speak for the voiceless a Jembe to whip famine to nightmare keep me wake to guide the herd And i'll sing my own song even to the dead and the unborn. « return. |
