lone is the boy

the peasants shed their tears alone,
while the kings and queens
sit upon their judging thrones .

come down and take the child by the hand 
show him the way.
for time has come where the light
upon his path,
        is starting to turn dark.

put away your minds prejudices.  

the prejudices that hides behind 
      the illusions
and the contempt that hides 
      inside the delusions.

in the core of the hollows heart
 is where insecurities,
             feast.

sometimes silence cuts deeper 
     than a stabbing knife.

shooting stinging barbs. 
cutting through to
        the bone.

a soul destroyed cry
 breaks the nights silence.

     listen to its laments.

the wounded beast is easy prey
to the contemptuous  
 who sit on
 thrones of high.

these throne occupiers don't awaken to the pain
from their downpouring 
                                  rain
