Makers
Take this sun away
Throw it into the fray
When I'm down
You kick me in the heart
Leaving me to wallow
With my heart bruised & hallow
Left dreaming
Deaf to the electric screaming
Screeching in my brain
Nick naming me Cain
Translating hurt as shame
Calling me weird & maimed
Blinded by the harvest moon
I start to act like a loon
The onslaught of craziness croons
Morphing into an anime cartoon
Tracing the outline of having fun
My hopes are buried with the sun
In the game of saints & sinners
We're all winners
No ones ideal is any better
Let's break bread, let's have dinner
At the chapel
Or someplace finer
There's a light shinning in the distance
The glow illuminating my sleep
Exposing every creep
Crawling back into my closet
Of discontent
In the storm of injustice
I lament
Writing letters to a nameless power
Urging for the removal of cowardice & ego
Unheeded are my words
Falling on deaf ears of entitlement & violence
Yet I will not be silenced
For we are the making of our own demise.
