Close Your Eyes

ambiguous

Why does it seem
that these papers bleed red
from the things I've seen
and what the talking puppets said...
...about a distant past moral instinct
to trust and love...
until it is broken,
and the ground these tears have shaken.
The child smiles without reason
a gift for some passerby
yet the notion of peace is treason
when innocence is not believed in,
or has it been long forgotten
by us so weak and downtrodden?
I promise when the walls crumble
that I will find you somewhere
among the broken stones
and a happy memory we will share.
And when we hear the beating drums
pounding in the street,
we will feel them in the deep places
and taste metallic
when we see the fear on their faces...
but I will look no longer
through the all surrounding haze,
Ill close my eyes,
and dream of better days.
