I Shant Not See

21 Jan 2019  11:46 Am

I shant see another day
As clearly as today

For with every day and every year
The eye become less clear

Fogged with worry and smudged with pain
Frosted with indifference and distorted with hatreds rain

A life lived hurried turns hearts to stone
Wearing blinders to see the future while the present is at home

We think that we live when we work and we give
While life pours away like water through a sieve 

Positive thinking is rose colored glasses
Hiding and disguising the evil of the masses

Aleaving the sypmtoms does not cure the disease
Pretending life is easy does not make it a breaze

Peace does not come by giving in
Love is not forced but givin from within

Faith is our hope of life to live again
A life without worry, sorrow, pain and sin
