Gone

Where the hell am I? White water beneath me Red sky above No room to breath Suffocating There is nothing Dirty water, sand, dirt and dust The Earths veil is tattered and torn Sparkling ravaged cities buried in rust We are our own undoing Raw sunshine bleaches my bones The pain is unbearable Still I cannot breathe Wash up on a shore of beautiful gold No life, just gold I wonder why the sky’s so empty Where are the angels that used to fly? Where are the clouds that drifted on by? Fleeting shadows reveal something hidden in the priceless mud A tattered page of a book long gone Love thy brother Love thy son Love thy mother and father long gone Love thy sister; love thy family and the earth you hence sprung Love those that hate you For they have not known love Love thy hatred, before all is lost Grip the crumbled leaf close to heart I collapse and face the sun I take my last breath and then, I am gone
