Tragedy

Tragedy
Travesty
Close my eyes for a while
Forced from the world, a patient smile.
Teardrops raindrops
Redundant blood drops
How can you say that your truth is better than ours?
Shoulder to shoulder brother, we carry no arms
The blind man knew, will know, knows
Bullets shred dove wings, hatred shows
And a harmony echoes.
You rip it from my hands and swear it’s all gone
And you do anything you can just to say you have won.
Close my eyes for a while
I can still hear the pain, no longer a smile.
Peace monger
Stronger.
Strongest.
The blind man has seen this all before
A constant strive to settle a score
And I’ll keep my eyes closed
Even though
the tears still show…
