My Last Prayer

Oh what hopeful prayer i send to thee,

In this my hour of misery.

A belligerent death has done so wrong,

A wind has blown with brothers gone.

A face not mine in reflection i see,

and mirrors now they frighten me.

A voice of better times sowing mines,

and my eyes kept missing the growing signs.

The sight of razors such a heavy weight

this stretch of rope and a growing fate

It takes fifteen feet or five minutes of blood

the thoughts come on like a raging flood

so I raise my sword to fight this more,

though one day life will lose this war.
