Reasons

So many reasons
You'd just ignore them
Cast aside signs of hope
A storm rages in ya eyes
No syllable could see why

Somedays are better than most
Yet we all seem to fade 
Away into traces of oblivion 
The actress waits for her next
Break while the poet cries away

Many years of harmony because
The whole wide world ignores him
He's lonely, delicate, and troublesome
The sound of sorrow will rain

Down upon him while weeping
Jerusalem cried transparent tears
While gaza took suffered so much
Chaos that will cause anguish
That spills into her blood

I write this on my tombstone
To teach a young person
The ways of life and hope
So that someday he will
Not repeat my mistakes
