Through Moral Eyes

Throw aside the stones
That lay beside the bones
Of many souls 
That the spirit does patrol
That have come and gone
If you listen close you’ll hear their songs 
Put away and forgotten 
Only to go rotten
And made weary
To some it made ever teary 
Angels stand and wait with harps 
For all the lonely shaded hearts 
The gates have closed 
But if you wonder 
Soon it’s your soul that’s under
Made a blunder 
Underground seeping sadness 
In a world filled madness 
A viscous cycle
That recycles
It hangs far back inside our heads 
Never wanting to come out
Then dread 
Lurking there as a reminder 
But for now we wear a blinder 
So throw aside the stones
That lay beside those bones  
Of those that passed 
Now the future has been cast
