Rest in Paradise

Paradise isnt  hard to find. For birth til death is such a fraction of  time. Hell on earth or cursed from the first breath. Blessed but stressed. Told to believe in a higher power. expected to believe that were the cowards. Searching for what never appears. Reinforced and guarded for the first years. Taught
to fear for all thats unclear. Mostly pain and lots of tears. Moments of bliss and happy thoughts. Replaced by the reality of a life filled with knots.
From the sky bullets rain. Dodging the punches and runaway trains. Looking to the sky and asking why. Nothing responds for there is nothing up high. Fantasy was designed to allow a dream. Life was given to allow the greed. No reasons can explain. Nothing lost is nothing gained. A description of the devil makes some kneel. While others resist all thats real. Imagine a place controlled by peace. Picture the light where darkness can't reach. No more struggles, no more stress. Better than a dream on a magical quest. A place where love laughs with beauty and all is best. Rest in paradise to all you who have escaped. Wait for me by the beer garden, sorry if I'm late.

Dedicated to so many friends, my father and family members who never had a chance to say goodbye. Love you all, Missing you more.
