Hope For Bones
How long will the bleached bones cry
Under the auspice of unending sky
Whence came the curse
That empties the purse
Of poor mans soul
trying to fulfill the role,
of life upon earth
started sweetly by birth.
Surely there are places
where earths multi races
look beyond the past
to a peace that can last.
Transcending the wars
truth holds no scores
What man holds dear
overshadows the fear
Oh bones in the sun
When your time is done
when you hold no sway
exalt the new day
The spirit will scream
theres no stopping this dream
deaths expired lease
ushering in true peace.
