Reality

In the midst of strife Our hearts are strained In the worst of this life Our strength is drained How do we know? How do we care? How do we sink so low When perfection seems so rare? We live every day We cry every night In fear we lay The darkest of nights We try to keep at bay The soulful cries The sound of pain The soul-less lies In the cover of rain The trampled cry out for mercy The broken cry to be heard Still we don't see While others are burned
