swift, the river current kills


swift, the river current kills 

while younger and younger kids taking pills 

all that matters is a manly thrill 

a new born baby lying still;

but this was of our own free will 

A mother left the child to die

never agian cry 

all i know is a lie 

while soldiers say goodbye 

to fight for a right not truely mine 

this was supoused to refine! 

but now that was declined 

I'm not gonna lie,

say that I'm fine

we give ourselves rights, but who gave us the right to do that?

our laws slacken, recline

so now I resign

goodbye

TamingOfSeaWolves

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
