I am the man you never met
Taken rays of light above my eye,
saved by the light of hope,
triggered inside my lungs,
trees will breath my leftover thoughts,
i did not exist just for death and punishment,
my glory rejects those who disrespect,
my values are guarded with my tears,
i saw the cloud above with words written,
messages familiar who could it be,
understand it is my will to end it all,
nature is calling my dirt has spoken of me
i lay here it is time to rest forever,
voices will be calling wake up wake up.
Through the roots i can hear them
love and screams of my past great grandfathers,
i will be taken by their hands so loving,
rotted memories soaked into heavy rains,
winds carry voices from the past.
This is it it is all over now i am one,
this is my home, these are my neighbors,
there are no rules here, or debt collectors,
no electrical bills, or social media ghouls,
just peace priceless peace i always wanted,
if you want me to pay my debt,
come and visit, i am the man you never met.
