Things of the West

The road west was no romance story
One full of disdain of a previous shorter history
Love extends further out of reach the closer I reach 
Because the system has had no faith. Just bleach
Washed in excess and wasted on the streets
Like an aborted child given by a foolish mother in heat
These things Jesus did not teach

I had to see for myself what darkness its begotten
And with the dawn, had it forgotten 

Jehovah witness think the savior is the antichrist
The rider given the large bow. Woe what this world has 
Gotten lost in
Like kid's scattered in a Neverending maze
Children blinded and in rage
To what lies shed during the day
The trying of man to form God in their wicked ways
An insult and baggage to heavy for me to weigh 
So there I leave it with yesterday
Sucked in the dust. Left rotting til the coming of Days
Wings begin to grow. No more will they break bones
Hark as the mocking Jay sings
This tale and what it shall bring
