Soul

Temperate minds express the wellness of the human soul
Exacting the demands of the body
Though the soul has no purpose in today’s world
Making sorrow seem understandable in the naked eye

People change without a trace 
Disappearing into the ways of others
To be there but not there at all 
Without the human condition of love 

The struggles of mankind blessed with pain 
Abandoning without cause

Hope love and sorrow are written in life’s pen On the same page
In a book which nobody reads 
Throughout it all we bare the pain 
Of happiness of which we believe 

Nobody feels truly alone 
Being watched over by a god that doesn’t exist 
Although the walls of control are still around us 
We breath the sweet air of the final wish.
