Poem Commentary

This isn't new, I wrote it almost ten years ago. (wow, has it been that long?) After finding in a book of lyrics I've written I thought it might be a good one to share on here. I hope you enjoy it.

Alive

Let's take a glimps of time and how everything is meant to unwind
If you look close then you may find that I'm still alive
Though I've slipped and down I fell deep and dark into a well
Soon I heard some church bells, I wondered was I still alive. Have I died?

It's not yet time to arrive. So I turned around and onward I drive
Into this world you'll see I dive. I'm so alive and I feel fine

Over and under the tasks of time. All have been born by our minds
Create some conflict and fight in some war, what's this world for?
If all we ever do is fight how are we to make things right?
While widdows are crying all through the night I am still alive, why? oh my

It's not yet time to arrive they said. So I turned around, began to descend
Then drifted right back into my head. Now I'm so alive, I am fine

Angels to demons as I am to you. Difference in thought obscure the view
I never thought I'd find some proof that maybe there's many truths
So let's take a glimps sometime of how things may start to unwind
If we're not careful and begin to find common ground between our lives
another's toe-tag be signed

It's not yet time to arrive. So turn around and follow the signs
There's so much more to life then causing another to die...
and causing their loved ones to cry.

"Angels to demons as I am to you. Difference in thought obscure the view I never thought I'd find some proof that maybe there's many truths" To me this poem is so introspective, and leaves me with more questions to answer than when I came. I like a poem that makes me think. It seems as if the writer has been lost in life, almost forgetting that he was still here on earth, and trying to understand why. Great poem Matt!!!!!!
