CONQUERED

With all its beauty
And ruins in view
Standing tall
With scars of bravery
As the pillars fall

And crumble in war
Bleeding for humanity,
A lonely soul,
Holding on
His faith shaken,
Once a king...now a scavenger

Wandering on

In search of life,
A sign of new beginnings

His only hope,
All that he's ever held on to

Slipping away
A lost love,
A lost life,
What seem now, like another lifetime

As he sits in the shadows of what was once his home

His kingdom beloved,
And he shuts his eyes, lays his sword down,

At the end he can see,
A shining light.
The last thing he ever will

like a metaphor befitting
That like him shone bright
And then got lost in the dark....

NEW WORLDS

Zoned out in thoughts
Of another world
Where freedom prevails
Peace and beauty remain,

The human race comes together
Not for war but for love
But at the end of the day I have to return..
Come to ground zero,
Witness betrayal, the hate, the lies
This is what makes me a rebel
Makes me want to run away
Question existence at all...

The hope and faith
That maybe one day we'll come to this
Alas, the nerves of steel break out
That one push over the edge
Where art thou oh leader of leaders
To show us the way,
The road to escape, the tunnel to new life
March us to our destiny

Take us there
A real new world
Where freedom prevails,
And peace and Beauty remain...

Inner Conscience

When you're at a loss for words,
When an awkward silence sits in
Your eyes wander, in search of an answer
And helter skelter, your thoughts start running,
The mind will tell you only what you need to hear.

But what happens when you want to say,
something your mind holds you against
To say it out loud will be admitting,
admitting that you give in to your fears,
admitting that you're weak,
not strong enough to control.

But what do you do when the feelings so strong,
that it overwhelms & takes over
Your drenched in that one thought,
one moment, one single emotion.

What do you do when you have no way out
No matter where you run,
which direction you look,
everywhere you turn.

What do you do when you know
The end is near,
That this is it, and its now or never

Would you admit and agree
Let it take over you
Say it then out loud...and scream your last breath out....
