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.
