Curtains are pulled for protection
To hide what we don’t want to be seen
To shade us from investigation
To protect us from reality
But is it any safer to be in the dark?
To stay in just one place?
Happiness is an internal thing. all of the money in the world can't fulfill the thirst a human soul has for joy, for peace.
The light is cold. The day is dark.
The only thought I have, a spark.
The only breath I breathe, my mark.
In this ever-changing world.
The mirror is the truth, my face.
This is an empty chair.
And on above, the light burns long,
as Distracted drones its song
and you wait,
with anticipating eye.
Here is your chance at life.
I AM waiting, you’re delaying
I have a dream
that one day all
can be happy
and the children
That is all that
matters to me
