Seven On a Journey

Seven walked the lonely road Searching for a secret key To life’s door of humanity Maybe if they let it out People will be gentle again One falls from hateful comments made The six left fight with vengeance To give people a conscience Maybe if they give them that People will be loving again Another falls from an iron blade Five stand tall and push past the fight Towards the goal of endless light Maybe if they let it out People will see what they’ve done One succumbs to despair So there are four, so close They refuse to give up the ghost Maybe if they don’t give up People will have hope again Another falls from unknown cause And three take the journey alone Declining to rest, they cut to the bone Maybe if they cut that deep People will find the goodness they lost One fades from disease and leaves the world Two are left, clinging to possibility That they have the capability Maybe if they make it People will stop being cruel Two are now one, with sinking heart Finally one is at the gate The people are screaming for him to wait He pushes it open, the light streams out People will be gentle again People will be loving again People will see what they’ve done People will have hope again People will find the goodness they lost People will stop being cruel And all the people disappeared Hiding from the burning light Because people don’t like to see their faults And the one falls and the gate and dies And fades to join his brethren ©Copyright 2015.
