Me

I have walk through the tunnel of life
burned down the kingdom of burdon and strife
seen through the eyes of GOD
and yet my heart still hurts inside
I have walk upon the river of shame
in my mine I am the only one to blame
In my life of abandonment only and angry person was born
For them to believe that all evil is gone
Is for their souls to walk with the unborn
I have glanced at the future and saw only but pain
men minds are empty so hard for them to sustain
money and gold their is no gain
fires only the smell of propane
This that I see OH GOD it's so real to me
 It's harder then a knife this thing i speak of is life
time and time again life was gone again
not naturally but by men
war upon wars they seem to have no end
peace and love come back again
the people have fed the world a pain
how long do we thank it will sustain
i put my heart and soul into this
will they stop and listen to the abiss
the world is coming to and 
now later and again...

Kevin, some of best efforts are born of such pain. I can sense great hurt in your words, but I like the way you beckon peace and love to return at the end. Nice work!
