Sleeping

Contributed by SinfullyTwisted on Thursday, 25th September 2003 @ 02:25:00 PM in AEST
Topic: war

Stagnant breezes drift through our streets
Choking our children without mercy
Our chains rattle mournfully
Souls begging to be set free
But we cant hear over the screams
Each heart in agony

Wars destroy kingdoms and monuments long standing
We thought we were invincible
Fires spread, consuming the hope we left aside
Leaving it aside, we never needed it
Oh, are we so invincible?
Crying in fear beneath the covers
As shadows of death pass over our sleeping world

Are we asleep, asleep and dreaming
Waiting to awaken to the beautiful world
We so foolishly abuse
Are we asleep, asleep and screaming
For a heaven we have imagined
Some golden heaven
Our paradise we have, and we destroy

Stagnant breezes drift through our streets
Choking our children without mercy
When will we stop and see
Listen to our chains rattle mournfully
Souls begging to be set free

Groovy.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
