Poetry
(Swans - November 2, 2009)
I close my eyes and I see, a soul plundered
How this happened to be, this I wondered.
Every time I follow my head, to move ahead
My soul being misled, dies instead.
Some do it out of dread, others for their bread
But the same way they still tread, even when properly fed.
Everyone's being led, as if by a thread
Leaving things unsaid, shredding their soul dead.
They say it's all right, 'cause that's what they've read
But what about all the people, all the blood being shed.
So, when you close your eyes and you see, a soul plundered
How this happened to be, you needn't wonder.
