Headed For A Change
Areh Hahs Feb 2020
Paranoid dope dealer giving out samples for free
News lady says theres been another shooting spree
Gas station clerk
Grocery store bagger at work
Little old lady crossing the road clutching her purse
Traffic jam at 5
I bet he's got a dollar when I got a dime
He's got a meal when I got wine
He's got a wife and Im just a client
Paved revolution
Systematic execution
I heard today its 3 in 5 teenagers that are using

Headed for a change

Hookers work a street
In an empty beer glass the drunk weeps
Down and out gambler finally admits defeat
Violence
Turbulence
Ski mask
Armored vest
Some people aint even safe while they're sleeping in their own bed

Headed for a change

No time for rest
A mind racing no sleep
Days spent in the forrest
Cant find any peace
Were just drops in a bucket
Were just flies in a swarm
That swarm soon one day will be busting down their door
I wrote a letter to God but couldnt find any stamps
So I tied it to some balloons, let it go now only God knows where its at.

Go To Sleep
Areh Hahs May 2020
I’ve never cared for politicians And
I’m not religious
But I feel a helping hand guiding the way
Life is a rose garden
with thorns
A love story
A horror
I wrote a one word poem titled “ WAR”

Got in a car
Drove out west
When i got there I turn around
Came right back
I had some things I had to
figure out in my head
They feel a whole lot better now than they did then

Goodbye Generation
Areh Hahs Feb 2020
I found you in a daydream
The clouds smiled
They knew our names
A statue with eyes that move
Puddles gather
There is no rain
As you took your last breath
No more pleasure
No more pain
The garden called your name
When you got there everything withered away

I hear a million voices sing it
"Goodbye Generation"

A diamond chandelier shattered
All I could hear was the pouring rain
These halls were filled with childrens laughter
Now its just an empty place
The rubix cube of life takes its shape
Im an All American
Proletariat
Working man with no name
Some are born with keys to the castle
Others work themselves to death everyday

I hear a million voices sing it
Goodbye generation, generation bye bye

Fading Fading Gone
Areh Hahs Feb 2020
Left on some train tracks
A train barreling down
The side of the road
Nothing around
*******
Blind
Knowing the suns going down
You can choose hate
Make it your own
Or love but never like this before
We ended like a handful of sand thrown against the wind

Start a fire
Fan it to death
Scream at the sky til you're out of breath
Drive 155 towards the sun as it sets
Sometimes we hold on so tight we squeeze out the life
An unnoticed death
A crime in the night
A sequence years ago that led us to the question why

All I know is I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go

— The End —
