Life

Passing by the roadway

I saw a man lying

Bleeding and stricken

A family shrouded, crying...

Blood pooled around

Seeping through black robes

No more alone the man

A family reddened and dying...

I passed them by

I banged the window pane

I heard the soothing lullabies

And grew up to write the pain...

Standing in the house of God

I heard a kitten cry

Mangled and torn

The cat prayed for dying...

Mews carried inside

The sermon raged on

The life slowly seeped out

A mother's dream dying...

I sang the hymns

I stood and praised the Lord

I listened to the choir sing

And woke up screaming in the night...

Standing by my bedside an Angel

I saw Lucifer strike out

White hot fury ripped me

A scream for freedom let out

Voices cried in my head

The Angel's halo soothed

Lucifer raised his mantle again

Life I praised crying

I heard my screams

I sang my songs

I saw Lucifer and Angel smile

And slept off in the burning feather bed...
