Lament of a Fallen Peaceful Warrior
Lament Of A Fallen Peaceful Warrior
Dreamt as I hover amongst the distant stars I never existed
No hands or feet or words of regret discernibly heard or said
----------------------
Wisdom in absence fail to disallow peace to vanish in thin air
Frenzied voices roar aloud while impregnable walls shattered
In clandestine dungeons hidden tears accrued to gun powder
Explodes like thunder for promises of love eventually faltered
Most chauvinistic of senses heart of virtuousness admonishes
Bares distended egos of men claiming their cruelest conquest
Power and greed and envy amass even in gravity free spaces
Truly mesmerized by immoral desire to suffocate the weakest
Tried to escape bloody scenes of war which makes skin quiver
Restraining enduring wrath for revenge to punish the evil doer
Beneath burial ground where cold eroding bones in solitude be
Justice shifting dark to light these eyes are not destined to see
----------------------
Within this endless void I aimlessly probe for ultimate meaning
An impalpable force caresses this lost spirit crying for the living
