Let This End

by Sarah   Nov 18, 2004


Walk along the road of life
And tell me were you see the light
Dreams of youth shattered down
Hopes of truth left a frown
On every face that cries for love
What more can we give?

Happiness you stole
The light of day you've shadowed
Empty hearts are cold
Is this our world?

People will die
Left and right
And we listen to the words you say
But we see the truth everyday
My tears fall for a reason
I cry for the world that's bleeding
Just hold my hand and I'll walk you through life
Then you can look at everyone, and who they are inside
Tell me why so many suffer
From cruelty and bloodthirsty hunger
Why should we all pay for what one has done
Just forgive..and let this end

Seven days and nights a week
I open my eyes to see
Broken hearts left to bleed
All we got is one world
Every bit of damage done
Has brought us one step further down

Children have no chances
To live in happiness
There futures filled with darkness
Who is to blame for all this?

If you would only take the time
To look at who I am
Look at the real person writing this song
Look at the damage you have done
Try to feel every tear that falls
From every eye that cries
Try to understand
What you've done to our world
Have you ever taken a moment
Just a moment
To stop the torment

    Subtle change from a bleak and depairing point of view to a more angry and accusing perspective. Nice work.

    There are some great lines in here ("I cry for a world that's bleeding") but the lines that really make the poem are the last few.

    Awesome stuff.
