Peace At Last Was Not Found On Earth

I live my life wondering why I’m here Trying to right the wrongs of the tormented When the wrong has control And no one gives a darn I wander trying to make sense of a way of life People trying to make the American Dream a reality When the Dream is an illusion For the Middle Class and the Poor In the midst of all the world’s drama A young man mourns for the loss of his brother A little sister tries to hold on to the brother left behind Only to lose him just like the first First love, young love stops short of forever A young girl devastated by the loss of innocents A dad trying to help his little girl through it all The loss of her mother now her lover A best friend, a little sister, a girl friend, and a father traumatized By a young man choosing to follow his bother into Sheol
