Compassion [February 02, 2016]

Love is a shadow, with no form

It has no power here, no uniform

Darkness resides in the hearts of men

It carries blood, it carries sin

 

Evil brings slaughter and pain

It brings no laughter, only stains

Crimson splatters against the innocent

As the evil brings forth cruel punishment

 

Peace is unobtainable, for it cannot linger

Too greedy are the men who point their fingers

The people are crushed under oppression

All this aggression, can bring only depression

 

Armies march, battles rage

It doesn’t matter which day and age

The world always returns to past wrongs

Where once again, the people cannot stand strong

For the men wearing crowns or title still hold all the power

And the people cannot do anything, but cower

 

The government changes, they say all is fair

And behind your back, they poison the air

With nothing but lies and false hope on their lips

The people fight for a leader who brings the apocalypse

 

They believe they are fighting for what is right

But in reality, more innocence is killed in twilight

For the leaders, no matter which country, all hide behind walls

As their people die in their place, taking the fall

 

Blood and tears, pain and sorrow

There is nothing left for tomorrow

Anger and agony, death and life

It all becomes one, beneath the knife

 

Generations pass, the world has changed

Although peace has not been obtained

The world is divided, it cannot stand strong

Until the men with greed, sing the same song

Until we all understand each other

We can never be together

For the men wearing crowns or title still hold all the power

And the people cannot do anything, but cower
