BLURRY HOPES

 

it’s just too cold 

temperature of my heart so bold 

the world no longer resonate with my stance 

I wish they never exited if there were any chance 

those we love and believed in 

they had high hopes in life’s scenes 

death crept in and called them to glory 

all hopes lost, dashed and blurry 

our hearts were full of sores 

we cried, even water gushed out from our sweat pores 

none to comfort, none to hold 

we stood still in blacks, their graves to behold 

lingering, their memories quavers 

our once upon a time lovers 

“gone too soon” ought not to be soon 

we live through the day and hope for the moon 

tell me what’s worst than worst 

even coated metal will someday rust 

a lullaby to lure us to sleep 

so easily will death penetrate while we’re asleep

a charade for our hearts to mellow 

even if our heads falls down below via the gallows

beckon on me when you need a shoulder 

I might be left with a bottle of vodka 

 

this is a nightmare in broad daylights 

this is our burden, our plights 

we hope someday the messiah will show forth

a concocted fallacy, humanity at fault
