Just a moment of silence please
No point in looking back
Prayers for all our fallen men
For their-heroic acts

Dreams were lost in battle
Fathers, brothers, sons
How are we to carry on
With no more smoking guns?

There’s simplicity in chaos
Our bodies still feel numb
Underneath the battle scars
Are layers tightly spun

What act of valor did our soldiers learn?
Watching men die never to return
Life goes on, until it burns
Wasting time, no great concern.

They’re still fighting far from home
Into the abyss of the unknown
Caught up in a spiderweb
Made from flesh and bone

We owe a debt of gratitude
While our way of life remains
A safety measure as it were
And all that it contains

Stand up tall and salute
To the flag we share with pride
While nations all around us fall
How many more must die?

Wars are fought but never won
That’s why we must carry on
We pray for peace under the sun
Embracing all that we’ve become

Our voice and thoughts burn in our brains
There’s still hope which we now contain
Nothing comes without change
A life of peace, that still remains
I’ve been cut in half
A magic trick gone awry
And all I can do is laugh
What good would it do to cry

This all came about by chance
I never thought I’d be the one to feel Gods mighty wrath
But I was, and it’s just fine
Truly, I don’t mind

I volunteered to take the stage
Knowing full well I wasn’t to be paid
And so the story goes
No time to weigh all the cons and pros

Because I’ve been cut in half
I really don’t mind and it’s good for a hearty laugh
The magician pulled out a rabbit from his hat.
Amazing!, how bout that,
How bout that, how bout that.

It’s just fine, it’s just fine, it’s just fine
I’ve embraced my fate
It’s all just a matter of time

I wish he’d taken the time to hone his craft
So people wouldn’t get cut in half
There’s nothing more we can do but laugh
You know I’ll never tell if it ever comes to that

The half of me feels so plain
Tears are running down my face like heavy rain
But it’s really not his fault
The magic show must go on after all

I’m dying now or about
I can make myself disappear without a shadow of a doubt
My time on earth is
dwindling down
Dwindling down
For the final count

Ten, nine, eight, It’s all come down to fate
Seven, six, and five,
It’s been one hell of a ride

All is fine and soon I’ll be gone
This is real, and not some wild and crazy con
So I guess this is goodbye
There is no bandaid big enough for keeping me alive

You all have been so kind
This is weighing heavily on my mind
I hold my breath for the thousandth time
It’s just fine, it’s just fine, it’s just fine.
I say goodbye.

Uninspired
Unemployed
Need something to fill the void
Be it love or be it peace
It’s too high up, where I can’t reach
I wish I could say I’ve tried and failed
Only God knows that my ship has sailed
I’m way off course, I ride the waves
Hoping that, I’ll be saved
A hand to grab me and pull me in
A new life waiting to begin
I take a step to a sight unseen
I’ve lost my drive and have no dreams
Nothing for me to seek
It appears my ship has sprung a leak
I make promises that I can’t keep
The days give way while I’m fast asleep
I find a land where trees can speak
A guiding whisper in the leaves
The land provides all that I need
On solid ground the ocean deep
The mountains high up at its peak
A single tear runs down my cheek
The void’s now filled and I’m complete
My perennial quest for certainty, in a river of deceit
Trouble always finds its way
Like glue, it sticks to me
Awoken by my own accord,
Just a fool with shattered dreams
Unsure what I’m trying to say
But my soul now feels at ease.
Nervous, biting lip.
Hands on hips.
Stares at ****.
Gets caught and dips.
Runs, but trips.
Karma, *****.
Today is a new day.
A fresh start.
I move forward to what is to come.
There is hope for my future.
I work towards a goal and do not stop until I have reached it.
Then, I make a new goal to work towards.
I am relentless.
There will be obstacles.
I do not succumb to the endless distractions in and out of my line of sight.
I will be heroic.
Taking on the challenges that lay in my path as I make my way.
It will not be easy.
It is my expectation that it will not be, and if it comes easy to me then I am not doing it right.
That has always been the way.
I bask in the idea that there are some people out there who would like to see me fail.
It is all the motivation I need to obtain the success I have envisioned for myself.
I will triumph.
I will leave a legacy behind me that I am proud of, that will stand the test of time.
Death may come to my body, but in the minds of others, I will live for an eternity.
