The Unpredictable Dawn

I swear to Moses

Life on planet earth is no bed of roses

As the fiddler of death composes

It's all a game to distract you from your focus,

Chasing my illusions

Through this land of confusion

Ignoring false allegations of collusion

Fighting off feelings of disillusion,

Sad that the world could never find

That you have to read between the lines

Instead you manage to remain confined

Drop me a line if you feel so inclined,

Observing the effects of the absence of God

We have a world that is evil and odd

Many are now being buried below the sod

You’re imprisoned because a corrupt prosecutor gave the nod,

You can’t just roll over and ignore their insanity

Driven by their self-centered vanity

Little do we see mercy

Nor do we listen to the impassioned plea,

What happened to the world my friend?

All of these feelings I’m meaning to send

No use now you decided it was the end

Throwing away others the new convenient trend,

It felt like death but I went on anyway

There was no use in begging you to stay

My nerves and emotions became frayed

Living life on the edge of a blade,

The ghosts linger of those who left us

Only their rejection there was nothing to discuss

Less effort involved in throwing someone under the bus

That’s the way today and you wonder why there’s no trust,

The moment of truth may not be far away

You wouldn’t expect your spouse to slay

Like a timber wolf entering the fray

Here you are bleeding where you lay,

How long can mankind go on?

There’s heartbreak and injustice beyond

Those you used to love are all gone

And you awake to a new unpredictable dawn.
