Many Thousands GoneA Poem by ghaw2007Many Thousands Gone Verse 1 Her bluest eye is darker than tar Once captivating, now sullen and cold Long, golden hair is frizzled and burnt Lips are cracked, body is dry and rough She is dangerously shy Coming back to herself will be no small feat Lost doesn't even begin to describe her state of mind Fixing what's broken seems to be impossible Verse 2 His heart is colder than ice Once full of warmth, now weak and shallow Confidence morphed into arrogance Disdain for others grows with each passing day Their sentience no longer remains It's the difference between living and being alive These new times are nothing more than a shill for death Years will seem to pass within seconds Chorus 1 Identities are like hurricanes When emotional roller coasters hit shore They can be swept away Truth is like a tornado Sometimes unexpected but powerful Many survive Unfortunately, many thousands gone Chorus 2 Life is like a glass of water With complexities ranging from being half full To being half empty Truth is like a tornado Sometimes unexpected but powerful Many survive Unfortunately, many thousands gone Written by B.
