Poem

A Prayer to Everyone
by: Andrew C.
Well in this day and in this age
In this scene on the stage
We've found our nuclear war
And the simple teenaged protest lyrics
The words of the new anti-adherents
Will be ground into the floor.
The Uncle we called Sam
Back 'fore the war in 'Nam
Won't look a day ahead
I'm done arguing religion
I guess it's your decision
Either way we'll all be dead.
But I guess I can only hope
That we'll open our eyes and see;
Until then, good will to all
I pray for you and me.
Well in this smoke and in this fire
In this battle that's dear and dire
We've found our hurricane's eye
And the daily hated complications
The wars below the tide of nations
All take this time to sigh.
I've struck gold now in this life
I've found love and beaten strife
I hope you fare the same
But I'm done wading through the crosses
The new Crusades that bring such losses
The arsons of the flame.
But I guess I can only hope
That we'll open our eyes and see;
Until then, good will to all I pray for you and me.
Well in these minutes before the end
In this hour time seems to bend
We've reached the end of the road
And all the murders and greenhouse gases
The careless tossing of the masses
Makes no lighter the load.
And still at our creeping doom
Where for God there is no room
We fail to see the light;
I guess that I can only hope
That the wiser men will cope
And that this song is right.
But I guess I can only hope
That we'll open our eyes and see;
Until then, good will to all
I'll pray and never flee.
...
Until then, good will to all
I pray for the whole of we.


(Uh! It's sooo unfair if you read all of his poems and songs it makes you feel bad that you can't write that well! I guess I just have no redeaming qualities what so ever. Oh well)
