Whispers Through the Grave

The stars are out You walk to the grave Visiting that person You thought you’d never see again As you walk through the valley You hear the screaming That comes from the inside out They scream to you Don’t live like you have before As you listen to the voices You have one question On your mind What am I here for What happens when I die Waiting for the answer Your mind is reflecting On everything you’ve done And you tell yourself How great you’ve become As you walk through the valley You hear the screaming That comes from the inside out They scream to you Don’t live like you have before You tell the voices All the good you’ve done And how you know they’re wrong But they scream again Don’t you know how wrong you are You may think you’re wise But this path is taking you to your demise You only live for yourself And your selfish ambition You better start caring for the ones in need And stop living in your greed You better change who you are Before heaven is just too far As you walk through the valley You hear the screaming That comes from the inside out They scream to you Don’t live like you have before As you reach your best friends grave And tears are falling down your face He whispers to you through the grave Saying brother life is too short for hate Please show love and change your fate

What an alarming thought - that they way other look at us and judge us is not what we see. I walk away from your valley, but not your poems.
