If It's Dawn It's Time For Me To Mourn

IF IT’S DAWN IT’S TIME FOR ME TO YAWN AND MOURN Heed not these words which utter I I of foolishness born Hush to the truth I cannot deny Because i was birthed only to mourn I mourn the loss of yesterday When doors needn’t be locked A child could go outside to play And one could enter a door with a simple knock I mourn the loss of my friend’s best friend That is a young man no one should ignore Despite the fact that he knew it could mean his end Yet and still the young man took off for war I mourn for the way the oceans are mistreated and taken advantage of I mourn for each death, each injury, each disease and I mourn the death for love Yet some loves are best left at a stranger’s doorstep astride And I mourn the loss of the aborted children who have died The litany of items on my list of complaints is way to long to mention And I am still mulling over whether or not I should add an extension I feel as if I were a lamb being tortured and shorn And the truth is I was solely born to mourn © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
