Praying For Peace
I cried
For all those lives now gone
for the laughter and smiles soon lost,
as all cheer was withdrawn.
I died
Every moment of each day
standing alone in silence and fear,
wrapped in a web of decay
I prayed
As each drop more precious than gold
flowed red through the streets,
stark contrast against cold white stone.
I watched,
Locked in a nightmare
while children grew into beasts
crying out to all who'll listen
praying into the darkness,
For silence
For Peace
For all those lives now gone
for the laughter and smiles soon lost,
as all cheer was withdrawn.
I died
Every moment of each day
standing alone in silence and fear,
wrapped in a web of decay
I prayed
As each drop more precious than gold
flowed red through the streets,
stark contrast against cold white stone.
I watched,
Locked in a nightmare
while children grew into beasts
crying out to all who'll listen
praying into the darkness,
For silence
For Peace
