"These days are dark and heavy and I wish the best for everyone..." ~Author
Photo and Words by Yesu Ben
We are not careless children, we have pride
yet life is quickly crumbling on all sides...
and hope like yours, accord the Human soul
with scope, like billows on parched craggy rolls
of rocks that once were cultured living lands
until this shadow rose with rifling hands.
We cry, with voices once distinct, no sound
like slaves with masks and fear walking all 'round.
Bring me to meadows green, places I love
To be a man once more – once more to rove
and listen to the winds and seas that roar -
the happiness of youth I’ve known before.
Though few the years, I do not want that door
- indignity beyond and nothing more.
Whatever happened to that lofty dream -
Untruth! This evil lie, this wicked beam.
The hour is almost nigh, we’ll cease to be,
by Death, redeeming us, to perhaps see
a scene of bliss, and freedom, fiction gone -
With gladness real - with love, we aren't alone.
Oh yes as far as I can go, yes I have fled
far from this cemetery of the dead.
Awake to a much greener world than this
and nearer truth, deep joy and perfect bliss.
