My Soul Cries Sos
In dim-lit realms of shade,
my dream comes to life
to disperse into fragments of lives I made
visions become real, lips move without sound
I stare out at a sea of humanity
crying in silence as they move through the wilderness
searching for redemption...filled with hopelessness
seeking Gods that glitter in the night
as they wrap themselves in the hate of discontent
no one speaks...no one hears
my dream becomes bits of paper filled with empty words
tumbling on the breath of fate
I toss them onto tear-stained empty streets
to form puddles around what's for sale
where my soul is lost, I crawl through my refuge of despair
and await the rain that falls silent on my darkness
where I have scribbled graffiti on the stones of my poor yearning
hoping for peace, finding silence
as I ponder the death of humanity
