Edwin

by aleskasrvn

Edwin was a boy who saw things in black and white in this world he was a tourist he was always chasing the green light About faith, he was a skeptic never prayed before a fight he would jump without his parachutes a wild soul that couldn't die You see people nowadays use wheelchairs made of hope but they sleep in bloody sheets there is never a chapter to be closed Edwin used to see his neighbours as oysters they would never come out of their shells it makes me a little jealous we like to ride deadly carriages without wearing a seatbelt He cries all night He dances all day Oh little boy, one day One day they will pay for your ransom Oh little boy, one day They will pay your real value Edwin was a man who always liked to play with razors feel the breath of life hanging in your hands a beautiful death angel He spent eighty years trying to solve this riddle my dear, life is like a bingo you may have the invincible golden sword but you will spend eternity in a limbo He saw that they build castles with pillars made of sand they think it is beautiful to die in a war while they listen to a cheap jazz band Your eyes flying faster than an eagle the honour slipping through your fingers When we look at the stars we know that we are waiting for the winners He cries all night He dances all day Oh little boy, one day One day they will pay for your rescue Oh little boy, one day They will pay your real value Edwin is long gone we feed each other with his ribs No one never listened to him we think we know how to sail our own ships
