Bable

at this hour let it ring true

     he who sits and waits is the fool

a coward cries unto none

      the fearless seek forbidden fun,

the heart that bleeds for love

       screams in anger to the lord above

he who reconciles with the way things should be

       never learns to be free

words tossed to paper never making sense 

         fall to those who see ignorance

speak to soon 

         a thought not though through

easy to judge another

          harder to call him your brother

in the years that past

           it's words that last.

nothing to write but wanted to

            dumb lines I wrote for I have nothing new.
