Reap What You Sow
Close your eyes –
Tragedy hovers around us like bothersome flies
Sleep tight…how time flies –
Don’t bid your heartless goodbyes
Tonight…Good night...
I hear your cries, but I see the light
Beyond the ebony night…fight the good fight
With all of your perpetual might tonight
It’s time to erase the lies
Life, in general, is throwing its stress on me…we must march with euphoric,
jolly assurance
It’s my time to try…
Life, certainly, isn’t the escape ticket to ship us away from this dilemma we
found ourselves in…I’m entangled in my sinful nature…staying up late again,
lacking sleep… I’m in captivity…overwhelmed by deep, shameful despair
It’s time to shine
The sun greets me with a smile from on high…please, don’t let our high spirits
die
A genuine, royal smile of sincerity, peace and honor…mirror my pain and our
joy is as fresh as morning dew as the dawn draws nearer
It’s time to sleep
The moon winks at me with its cold features – my hopeful spirits are frozen
and dry
I wear an upside down frown for the meantime – everything’s starting to look a
little clearer…you reflect on me like you’re some mirror
It’s time to face the truth
Death, in general, is not to answer…we must thrive with remarkable, splendid
confidence
It’s not my time to die…
Death, certainly, isn’t the cure to this uncertainty – our hope is paper thin and
I’m falling short, I’m failin’ again and gravity-bound…where do I begin when I’m
a lost sheep? I weep…getting devoured by the hungry, ferocious bear
Look beyond the hole where I naively fell!
Hear me as I call…promise me you’ll stand tall
Don’t abuse me or push me facedown to the ground…under your wicked spell…
How I loathe your callous actions and you’re a negative companion to have…
now, you’re considered my naughty, mischievous foe, that’s all…
Do tell me where you kicked the ball! Give it your all! I promise I won’t even
tell…
A SINGLE SOUL…you fell into the murky well? Oh well.......
