Tribute To God Entrapped By a Dream
In my dreams
I walk along the shores
The Sea is calm
The night is still
Under my feet the sand is soft
The wind blows vigorously
In my direction
I hear whispers
Voices calling from a distance
I stop, look and listen
Can't you hear them
My sight taken from me
The dark night fog has blinded me
Lost in my sins
Consume by greed
Broken by addiction
Confused by madness
Where am I buried in a world
Caught in its own destruction
Faith has lost his gloss
Mankind has no mercy
Unity and Humanity entrapped
Children have no imagination
Fantasy has no place
Mother nor Father has authority
Sister and Brother know no boundaries
Man and Woman caught in battle
As death stands patiently at the door
Child born to rare his own
Souls crying from afar
Bodies falling by thee hour
Both Mother and Father
At the burial ground
Covered in tears of blood
As the gate keeper of hell laughs aloud
Hope steps in and plunges me from sleep
Awaken to be carried by an angel
I noticed two footprints in the sand
My god has not forsaken me.
