Restless with in a broken world ...
I am so very tired ... this day has been long ...A babe cried solemnly on his drunken mother's arm
I watched an unfaithful man lie to inhibit the looming storm ...
Senators wept as they killed the incompetent son ...
Doves no longer croon their lovely song ...
I am so very tired, but this night I shall not rest ...
Bombs fall upon a dark city drenched in fear as it is put to the ultimate test
I watched tormented nations scream as they reach death's crest ...
The world's at a stand still yet spins out of control ... off center is its axis
Generals, Ministers, officers of peace, all feast as subordinates pray,
Covered in blood, they tremble with in their war beaten states...
I am so very tired, my soul longs to be free ...
The world is so dark, my way, I cannot see ...
When the light comes ... when the way is clear, then may I sleep ...
Will my soul ever be mine, and mine alone, to keep?
Or will the devil and his minions ravage it piece by hollow piece?
I am so tired ... I have lost all hope ...
My vision is blurred; I can no longer see life in full scope
This is the end, I hang limp as if form a rope ...
Yet I breathe still, please fate be kind. Take me now lest at my own hand I choke ... on the evils of man, his greed and lies ...
force me not to endure my own children's cries ...
I fear my heart is too weak ... I will brake and fall ... the Gods no longer listen, they do not heed my calls ...
I am so very tired, I long to rest ... perhaps when morning comes the world may once again be at her best ... yet if she is not I will try with all of my mustered might to make tomorrow and tommorw and tomorrow, for all, peacful nights.
