THE LIGHT

Posted: 06/16/2013 in WHOCANTOPIT Book of Poetry

The light forever flickers
Meaning without an end
Ever gaze upon it
See the solitude of a friend

Understand it’s wisdom
Understand it’s pain
It’s constant vasculation
Destroy it with a name

See it bring forth illumination
See it burn itself to vain
Under constant degradation
We spoil it with a name

Hear the laughter as it dies
The strong, the weak has tamed
Back to total darkness
For it’s us that he has named

Though it might all look the same
It’s never what it seems
When you think you know my name
Your living in a dream

And half the time your quite content
With what’s in front of you
But then half the time
Your not too sure of what your gonna do

It made no difference to the people that were there.
No difference to the ones that were supposed to care.

No difference if you always tell what’s right.
No difference when the future’s out of sight.

No difference, no difference
Do they ever heed the call
Indifference, you never had to have it all

No difference at all.
No difference at all.
You made no………!

Speak the truth
Respect our youth

We are what we are today
We are proud and undaunted

Yet still all together
All together now

We care and make our makes in what we do
Never forgetting the past

Not forgetting there are futures
Still to be discovered

All together now
All together now

We standing parade
We stand tall and proud

We stand all together now
For those before us
For those yet to come

We stand all together now
We are all here and free
So it is what it is
A thing is just a thing

We stand all together now
You and me

Lots of people can be free.
People just like you and me.
We can all survive if we only try.

Days and nights will seem like years.
If we bow to all our fears.
There is a what you know, if you will only go.

Carry the torch.
From your front porch.
Throughout the land.

Life is not a game that’s true.
Ask them all and they will tell you.
Can you really tell, is it just as well.

Lonely days and lonely nights.
But we still keep up the fight.
If it is really true, we’ll know what to do.

So, Carry the torch.
From your front porch.
Throughout the land.

Not taking the disappointment trailer with me today, just seemed too large a load.
The super highway, of infamy of history, I can’t remember what I was told.

Modern incisions make me feel, no, I think they make me small.
Order of sanity, wasn’t even on the menu, about the time I called.

People of history, never knew or did they know.
Letter of thy time spent life, seem not a bad way to go.

Born of innocent, once again, ’till the faithful have their day.
Try the guilty, free the fear, who might have never had to say.

No, where did they make the rules, that I didn’t think I could change.

Always seeking confidence, where we differ somehow, I think were the same.
