In the Clouds

So much to live for
Hearts touched
And explored

Life is but a double-edged sword

Can we all reach an accord
Any time soon
Since we can't afford
To meet our impending doom

Why do we assume
The roles that consume
Our lives are presumed

Innocent? Yet never
Proven guilty
It's for the better
To polish what is filthy

Wishful thinking
Blissful preaching

Falls upon deaf ears

Sick to the tears
With all of these fears

Eating us alive
So, we no longer thrive

The will to strive
Continues to drive

Truly feel alive
And you will finally arrive

To your final resting place

Death comes with grace
And we must all face
The devil's trace

In the end,
It all feels the same.
