| Beyond Our Own Rising Sun | ||||||
| Back to poems | ||||||
| In the courtroom of trickery The books lecture As the almighty decides the fate Of the innocent man. Where money dictates the direction of souls Like fervent pleas Falling upon deaf ears. We know what we do But not the reason why we destroy. We sell our bodies to the highest bidder. We search for our souls In broken down jet engines, And dumpsters And marijuana Which leads us to the answers to the world. (Too bad we were too high to remember) Binding contracts with evil and hate Standard procedure wickedness we create Alabaster plaster coats our skin And we are sunken in beyond our sin. Is there a truth to this lifetime When special moments stain our cheeks With tears of broken down bits of childhood? Maybe if you believed in miracles. But the only marvel left to see Is the unity of humanity Which will not come until the dawn Of morning beyond our own rising sun. |
