The Crying In My Mind
I find myself apathetic to the nature of my sins.
I find my mind draws dark skies where summer sun beams win.
I look into the future and see faces lost of hope.
I sense it in the water, despairing and longing for times when we weren’t broke.
I listen to the winds on the highest hills I find.
I hear the screams of history crying in my mind.
I look at your children’s faces and see their summers bleak of joy.
I watch the buzzards soar higher and wish that I could fly.
I pray to gods I don’t know with faith I do not own for the future of the country I used to call my home.
