From a Dark Brooding Soul
The happenings of our world scare me
Here, hatred and selfishness eternally do cry victory
While love and peaceful living slump in their own decrepit
Why, some say that to have been given a birth, is to be taken as a treat
Is it?
I do myself fear for my safety
On one side of life, does be nature’s unpredictability
On the other side, does be the evil nature of my own enemy
Living does be so uncertain
But in the end, we all do end up with so much pain
Wish I so much to find a part of the divine here
Would I then have felt of life as being so dear
Would I then have loved living my mile
Would I then have kept on my sorry face, a radiant smile
Pray, a part of the divine on earth would have made life worth its mile
But then, the divine does be so subtle
As if, with ourselves, it does want us to lead a battle
As if, it does not appreciate our fall
As if, it does want to test the might of our soul
Pray, life, I wish, I really do, that as one so bold, your adventures I could tackle
Pray, see me not as a dark and brooding being
I do dance with life and of its tunes I do sing
But I do fear for my safety
This world does revolve on uncertainty
So much, that I do need to protect myself from any evil sting!
