DARK BUT TRUTH
We are not here to live forever, but we don't want to go sooner
Another birthday, a day closer to death
The love for money is the roots of all evil they said
But the preacher need it, more than the teacher
What a deceit Ignoring knowledge, For dense
A penny in pocket, makes everything fast and steady
What you get is what you give, Only when justice prevails
As a little child
I saw my father goes, From brown to dark
After toiling under the Sun, day by day, weeks to weeks
From month to month, through seasons and ages
Years passed away, he never lacks or wants
There blows the winds Of change for growth
He was too busy elevating others and forgot to acquire more
Forgetting: NONE FEEDS from Nothing
As season changed, People switched
The compensation for, my fathers bruises
Under the sun
And kindness to others, Was nothing but death
Died and buried
Without taking along, all he labored for
without seizing or giving, from season to season
While he was a living
What is the reason for betrayal and greed??
When there is always a reason to love and unite
For it's a resolution of heaven on earth.
