Thoughts of the Week
It's a quarter till Midnight
And the darkness whistles in my ears
Bristles are split by the weary spears
From the hands of pall bearers
Lifting hundreds from one abyss to the other
For life is circular in natural stone boulders
Scriptures are faded by dust and wind
Left as hieroglyphs by the ancients
Whom wished to give knowledge to the world
Knowledge of architecture, agriculture, and spirits
The curves of Mother Earth and the voice of Father God
Although the closest to God is a mother
Who gives life, a super natural ability, and honor
It's eleven till Midnight and light floods my room
For just on the other side of a few inch thick door
Lies a man with a gun, a 40, and an attitude
Engaging the neighbors beneath and beside him
Laughing from the turmoil of the day
While shifting his eyes to hide tears
As his son is in the hospital but his sons mother despises him
For he had no time, therefore no interest
In the seed he had planted in a one time plastic *** from Home Depot
It's eight minutes till midnight and I miss the moon
I'm too fearful to leave my door
As I watch videos of idiotic and moronic
People's who want to change the world
With no plan, only a vision, of milk and honey flowing
Work is a theory and talking matter
It is an excuse to imbibe coffee and consume pastries
For ideas are more interesting than actions
For those who use actions are mere talking points for gossip
It's four minutes until midnight and my life isn't mine
It hasn't been mine for years
Since my inception I was fed lies, just like you
The newest lie is I should be happy
The second newest lie is I should be sad
The third newest lie is that my brother will get better
Because how can one become better...
If born from an incident
As a result of negative consequence
It's two minutes till Midnight and I know he never had a chance
I would give up my life for his
But it would change nothing for our parents would still cry
For my actions have been misleading
And he has been stripped of what was rightfully his
A chance to live his own life
It's midnight and my thoughts devour my soul
In the form of shadows dancing along the walls of my bedroom
I wish I was a dream weaver
