If everything were truly fair
We 'd all be round
with nothing square
thats not what .,.I'd want...
...for life to be
Individuals need a choice
To try and try
and often fail
Along the course
or they may
never try
hard enough ...
...to find their voice
And in the silence
of the void
there will not be heard
a stronger tone
with a much wiser word
that sadly
the world may miss
what was needed
that.... never...occured!
And that is not what
I really mean ..
...by my
arguing
about how it could be
If life were...truly fair
No!
I'm speaking up
for all those...
...who do give up
without
the ability to share
what it is that's
creating such dispair
never knowing
that it may have been
what someone ...desperately needed to hear!
Instead
they may be left out
I see them every single day
the smiles are gone...
....and every dawn
they wake up to the light
that shines every where...
but inside...inside
their own hearts
and inside their own minds
And , I wonder...wonder
how to deal
with reality
by shutting the blinds
to block out ...what cannot
and never will
that does not mean
they still won't try
to stall the hurt
and to dam the eye
So so so noone knows
when the dam finally breaks
and they begin to cry
washing away
so much of themselves
leaving a sink hole
deep down inside
Avoiding all those
who...
...with so much pride
speak of the things
their children have done
Excusing themselves
as they start walking away
when they really want
to break and run
they build themselves
a book of rules
about taking different routes
whenever they drive
to avoid passing by any schoo!s
Ive got to run
Ive been too busy
