Kissing Deep Salt

Dealing with deep touching issues sleepless nights worried
lovingly do not understand my head anymore teardrops keep falling weakness 
cut from finest silk cannot take this heartbreak and disappointment
 
Enough watching my mother and father crying 
respect not into this hurting pain brings joy ends inside 
indignity knowing my path was chosen from birth
 
Goodness knows why through the injustice reeks tyranny inflames scars
unhappy dealing with invisible grief and shame it brings forth 
sharing what I must make visible fighting for truth hate manifesting 
 
Opening these eyes a miracle dream bowing defeat comes disturbing news
within great pain and loss not guilty judged pleas unheard story
No say deemed unworthy suffering with the courage to stand up against conviction

What I believe in the end justice peace holds pure the innocence unheard
societies untouchables in this world tyranny hides shame to speak 
rising behind pride and greed masks destruction of a heart's dignity

When falling down on my knees burdened heavily patience wounds salted
always stood for what is right speaking up in defense true spirit embracing souls joined love united we sang with freedom choosing our destinies directions join

Dancing tunes always sunshine peace finds the only direction home hand in hand
 such friendship forever a promise shines one day to come we have walked 
this path golden together shared in this life our dreams kissing sacred gift maiden

This is very heartfelt and sad, Liam, and I am moved. May strength and truth be on the side of the innocent victim who has to pass through much anguish and pain. Let's hope that true justice will always triumph in the end. All the best my friend.

- Several people get hurt, considering human injustice - no one should be treated unfairly - Whatever how painful things may be, the truth must always win! - The road you go, you need to follow to end - follow it and through shadows landscape - Nobody can stop - and no one can turn back ...... I cry with you my friend Liam - big hug // Anne-Lise :)

Hi Liam! My dearest friend, as you know I'm so very sad and sorry to hear about all the situations, injustices, you're facing and suffering for a long time. You're not alone!I'm praying for you and that justice be served and you'll walk free.There's a lot people who love you and the reason we cry is because we love you and care a lot for you, and that's very natural and human, Liam. You shouldn't blame yourself for this, you didn't create it, it is evil in this world. You're innocent, a victim.Believe in you!God knows your heart is beautiful and pure. Don't lose hope! God is with you always! Be positive, stay strong in your faith and in that justice shall be done with God's divine help. God listens to prayers! Keep your dreams and hopes! May they come true! May God grant you the peace you're seeking for! May you feel the love of God and His Angels all the time around you. God bless you always! Wish you all the best! Have a very lovely evening! Love and hugs! :)XXXOXXOX D. ^O^
