Burden
Can power be a terrible burden
Cos I fairly tried to judge but can't
For me to judge equally is tyranny, and olden
To rule by book, is to bypast it's true significant
So it was, was it?.
Would colours be to me a terrible burden
Even Rainbow too can't choose, he is narcist
To be just, i had to hide my true colour then
Work from someone else imaginary thought
So it was, is it?.
Life is a terrible burden
Some kill for the uncertain future
Why not leave them cause life is shorter even
They died and you wouldn't cheat nature
So it was, they were all immature.
Choice seems a terrible burden
They asked me my flavour, i had no idear
Can i choose for others, when I am not the chosen
My choices inherited, religion, race from my dear
I could be another, needn't I.
War hasn't been a burden
It's just harder to wait than to go to war
For the sick and dying veterans feel no pain
Some go to war to settle their worries
Others to defend their God's legacies.
Please mind me not, I am a pupil poet
Half asleep half awake dreaming
Contemplating about this our earth
Please poem wake me up from this burden
Please poets wake me up from this burden.
