Poem - PAWN


PAWN

Do you feel like an angel?
Spread your wings like an eagle
and just fly away.
Shot down in flames.
From the self inflicting games.
All the normal people play.
You're friends with the devil.
They gave you the shovel
and they are hold you down.
You still sing along
an you go along.
Without ever looking around.

You buy what they sell.
Along with the lies they tell.
And you live how they want you to.
Blink and you will miss.
Ugly/pretty doesn't exist.
With everything else and the truth.
The place of living society
in the land of hypocrisy.
There's a million reasons why.
If you bow down.
They'll shoot you down
without you even knowing why.

You're a pawn in this world we live in.
You play their games and you give in.
It's their rules. It's their game.
You lose when you play.
They take your king with their pawn
an now your life is a setting sun.

Die and let live.
Do you wonder why?
Forive to forget.
There are so many lies.
Do you listen to the voices in your head?
Open your mouth and listen what is said.

POEM - The Midnight Ray

The Midnight Ray 

Starry eyed wild child looking for the weekend.
Tomorrow is today and today has no end.
Freedom flight flying so high. Flying so high.
The past is the past.
Good times always last.
One last trip to say goodbye.

And in the midnight ray
shadows dance on the wall.
Time slowly ticks away.
Till we all take that fall.

Depressed, suicidal loner looking for someone.
One pill, two pill, three to kill the pain just because.
Nothing to do 'cept die like the rest.
The now is now.
Rock bottom hits the ground.
So don't die like the rest.

And in the midnight ray
shadows crawl cross the floor.
Good life gone to waste.
Wasted away - fading away.
Fading off to never more.

Used and abused. Tortured soul torn apart.
Raped life cause of who you are.
Who you are you do not know.
Today is today.
Whatever happened to yesterday?
Will life have a tomorrow?

And in the midnight ray
shadows creep forever.
Living a life of pain.
Living the life of never.

Life in the midnight ray,
fades AWAY.
Only to say goodbye
to the ray of midnight.
To the thing that you call your life.
