A Confused Land

I can’t promise you anymore than today

As long as the hyper sonic missiles don’t go astray

It’s cold right now in the bed where I lay

If you could only listen to the things you say,

I’m trying to escape from melancholy

It’s a feat I can only manage temporarily

As the world grows more and more unsightly

Walking around in a confused land that used to be free,

The rain falls all around

As I listen to one clown after another clown

Admittedly, sometimes it gets me down

You see I’m only a creature who’s earthbound,

Afraid of being alone for eternity

It seems there is little in the way of certainty

God do you hear my silent plea?

I’m sure there are many more like me,

Seems I’ve tread upon forbidden ground

While others are getting their flesh pound for pound

Thought things might be okay today until I heard that sound

Then I watched as everyone around me came unwound,

It’s a cloudy day and that’s fine for me

The grayishness moves in like waves from the sea

Occasionally I just have to collapse on bended knee

Somehow I know I should look at life more joyfully,

Right now I’m looking at bare trees

Swaying in the cold icy breeze

Seems life has changed in varying degrees

If I could only get a word of encouragement please.
