The Witness of Daybreak
David J Walker
I
I am guilty of such foolishness
As waiting for the
first rays
Of the dawn
On the cusp of a calm
Spring morning
All alone
II
I atone again
And again waiting
For them
The loved ones to begin
To come home
III
We are ghosts
Intruding
On the current living
In a house that was
Once ours
IV
While some unknow theirs
Who stop and stare back
Into the obis
Wondering if it is us
And
Of course it
Who else
V
I am guilty of seeking pleasures
Over
The satisfactions of
Hard work
Such foolishness
the witness to
The breaking of
The day

If I find myself within a crowd
My mind drifts away, this room is too loud.
To any of the people I rarely hold a feeling
I shut them out, I'd rather look at the ceiling.
I never mean to hurt or disrespect
I know sometimes it has this effect.
Within my mind I feel most at home
Every bit of information stays stuck in my dome.
My mind can't be stopped like the rain or the thunder
I'm in fantasy land, I'm always at wonder.
What, where,when, why, who and how
Should I really be eating this cow.
A billion questions that rarely get an answer
I'm not an Einstein nor am I a chancer.
The purpose of my existence i been trying to find
I know the answer is locked in my mind.
Down with the demons into the dark obis
A lesser man couldn't do this.
I have the strength within my heart
To pull me out to where I did start.
They had me trapped with the things I did crave
I've broken free I'm no longer their slave.
My eyes are wide open my mind is now free
The bigger picture I'm starting to see.
This world is nothing but a Truman Show
Everyone is watching you must know.
Judgement day will come to use all
I sit and wonder if I will fall.

Destined we are curdle together by nature
Though at the twin rivers shore
Believing same will provoke harmony
Bridge on the rivers and wall of our minds
Let the power that be Strike balance
Sweet home now wilderness exile
King, Obis, Emirs, Pastors, Imams and likes stoop to stooge
Politicians dictate tune of bomb
And never wait for tone
When shall we learn to live Siamese like these yonder rivers?
I wept for my darling country

As you read my mind you sing our song for the last time
I realize why I fight through all the lies
And jumped through your impossible hoops
For your voice brings me peace in a world full of war
And your touch slowly creeps
On a heart with ice to its core
You stare into my eyes with love you can no longer hide
And for a moment I forgot this was good bye
As my heart longs for your kiss
You remind me that my thoughts are not just my own
And you kiss me like your heart has finally found its home.
The thought of this being the last slips away
As hope burns through my brain
You hold me like I'm your dying wish
Reality falls on me like a ton of bricks
As we pull away, and your words that brought me peace
Sends me to a dark obis
I love you baby I promise I do
But I love her too goodbye
