The Orphan's Tears

The firewood of this world is too heavy to bear The worries of this world an everyday nightmare Like a spear it breaks through my sorrowful heart As I sit staring at the stars All through the night The trees around the compound dancing the dirge of its lonliness The goats all lying in weakness The square we gathered now triumphed by grasses As the mutts take harbour in your houses The colar bone is broken The legs have no where to hacken The famine in my heart so dry like the desert Even spit in tongue now dessert Broken men now speak All because the mighty lies weak What a load the Carmel cannot carry Lyes as a bride for me to marry O my eyes so blind even with lights to see The bright lights now blind with jealousy The left over now become companions As friends now form an enemy battalion As I lye waiting for death on a stallion While on its wings she celebrates me a broken champion

Hi Patrick, this is an excellent Ballard, only thing I would like you to look at to improve the read is omit most of ( THEs) which in my opinion will sharpen it, hope you don’t mind me saying my friend.
