Come Forth!
They walk like zombies...possessed by what they know not
They dream empty dreams...no passion, no desires
I watch from afar...guarded by my safe haven
They all look like movie stars to me...
they move in motions that look scripted to the letter
I pity them, but my pity is useless...wasted on the ones not needing So i watch, wishing i
could extend my hand to help guide them...Yet i fear they would not heed my efforts...
so i cry and pray...my tears form a river they drink from
To feel my pain...i see the banks drying up everyday
How can they fail to hear my roaring waves?
My cries i scream...when they fall they listen not
I'm pained at every moment...they continue on their journey
I sit and close my eyes...the tears carving impressions against my cheeks.
I try to gather power to let my voice scream from my seat...
but to them it's drowned-out by lust, not the love of life that i fought so hard for
I beckon unto them, but they turn their back
I sit, I write...maybe my life can lead them, but they refuse to open the book
I have all my brothers and sisters surrounding me...
lending me their words, but we are silenced at every turn
They have no love for us anymore...we are forgotten,
as forgotten as the sands of time that engulfed us
They just turn it over and start a new...
losing everything we fought hard for
Equalities' dying out with every scar on their soul...
I try to heal the pain, hide the scars, but i'm lost in their past
I find myself searching for an outlet to reach them,
Just to find my efforts are futile
Notwithstanding, i continue to try...
you're all i have...my memory rest in you, and so far i'm fading away
I need your help, need you to remember...need your love,
Need you more now...than a mere blessings' past...
