The Death of Innocence

“Oh mother, there are bright lights
in the night sky
but I thought this only happened
at the forth of July?”

oh child, my love,
they light up for you
for freedom is costly,
and its payment is due

“oh mother, what’s this?
It is such a beautiful red
and it runs like a river
from that sleeping mans head”

oh child, my love,
it runs just for you
find in it peace
for your life so brand new

“Oh mother, come look!
The children are dying
And I cant find a reason
as to why there not crying”

Oh child, my love,
with tears come regret
Learn as they do and ur
heart is well met

“oh mother please save me!
The darkness is coming…
the pain is to great…
and my legs have stopped running”

oh child, my love…
the darkness is kind
its all that can save u…
.its all that is mine…

“oh mother…it is hurting,
please let me go…
your hands are so strong…
my neck isn’t so…”

dear child, my love,
don’t fight, its ok
I thought I could save you…
the world made me sway
you will be home soon,
and there u cant hurt
For the darkness protects u…
the gravel and dirt…
It shouldn’t be like this…
but life’s true bequeath
that carries the name of life,
in reality, is death…
