[hometext] => It takes a village? Who's?
[bodytext] => A village In the dark world of princes In a land we all forsake A light there is arising A brightness none can take So fierce and forlorn So vibrant and free A light that shines For you and me It strove against the darkness Heroically fought the night A power relentlessly strong A force to be reckoned with A power above us all He saved us then But only then Went way beyond our plight A fish out of water A fight we’ll never fight Of friends and foes This one rises above He takes our woes He wraps them in love Screaming on high I am all things to come Whisperings secrets Never before done Will we ever know The reasons we’re here Beyond our cares Beyond our fears They say it takes a village But we’re not close to there We’re killing off each other And hurting those so near No matter your mother The bullets fly, to consequence Will we ever be a village? A safe port home I truly consider And the evil inherent I sit and ponder My conclusions Abound with wonder [comments] => 1 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 25 [informant] => twbanter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )
