Death Wish

How I wish to be a flame To enlighten those in the dark To grow to a fire to char - The evil designers on earth But I am just a man among the wolves I succumb to their rules And they spit fire on my face To blind and slave my self to their side. How I wish to be a stream Quenching the thirsty To grow to a flood and- To drown those covetous planners. But I am just a man among the wolves Those who bottles even the rivers And serve venom in lovely wraps And we succumb to their deals. How I wish to be a morning breeze To cool the broken hearts And to grow to a storm To wipe away those rape mother earth. But I am just a man among the wolves Jailed with burdens of an existence Almost bent with heavy shoulders With weight of budget they brought. I know my wishes are futile I would go to the earth where I belong To nestle in her womb again As the gentle peace ascends.

A man is a far more fearsome thing than a wolf, especially one who is righteous.
