RiotA Poem by BodilessSoulIgnoring injustices is just as bad as being the enemy of the victims.As I close the window I can hear the willows' Cry, but why? There's something sinister In the night, it stirs, stirs. What happened here? I'm not sure, I don't wanna know JUST CLOSE THE DOOR In the distant night You can hear the ri-ots And the people Their screams are not as feeble Anymore I try to tune it out as I hear the knock, knock on the door. I go and I open it to you But what I see isn't right and I don't wanna believe it's true That this has happened, happened to you! In the distant night You can hear the ri-ots And the people Yeah, their screams are not as feeble Anymore And then I hear a knock, knock on the door. What's happening? This never happened before. You look at me with distain, I'm going insane! In the distant night You can hear the children cry As they watch them fall, as they watch the people die And the attacks, and the words aren't feeble anymore THEY WON"T HOLD BACK MUCH MORE I watch with horror as the guns come marching in Putting bullets into the minds of children, why oh why Scarring little angels, sparing human devils What have you done? The blood-shot eyes Echo their cries Once an innocent, pure green Turn the color of true greed Red consumed the life that was held so promising And now the city, once a city, is falling The victims are calling Out your name, blood they say! As I hear a knock knock on the door There goes the door What have you done? I don't know you anymore In the not so distant night You can hear the ri-ots And the people Their screams aren't feeble Anymore In the night, you can hear the children cry As the people fall, yeah they all fall But they will crawl They will crawl Determined to bring this down, their actions aren't feeble anymore You aren't true anymore I just won't ignore this anymore. © 2009 BodilessSoul |
