Crossroads

Crossroads

So many roads I have walked down
So many crossroads I chose
But did I choose the right path
The road gets lonely at times
But it intersects occasionally
With a kindred soul
But all too soon the conversation dies
And I continue on my way
With shoulders slumped
Refusing to look back
For surely death lurks behind
So on I trudge looking for an end
And a time when my path converges
With another kindred soul
May the next soul stay
I grow weary of isolation

Controlled Masses

Controlled masses

lethargic and apathetic
the world has become arrogant
Intoxicated men stagger
screaming in spite of a world
that continues to spin round
Women laugh and barter
for a chip and a quarter
What happened to seminal perception
Down down down we go
Who cares how many shiny rocks you bring
In the land of the hollow churches
Bells ring ding and dong
and fake voices sing fake songs
as I pray for the day when seven arrive
to destroy the fake and return the fare

Renew

Renew

life instantly changes
its bound to leave stitches
one bad decision
but they wouldn't listen
now four walls once called home
my prison with no room to roam
life at a standstill
with too many dreams to fulfill
what do i need to do
to make this life renew?

Stars Aligned

Stars Aligned

Tonight the stars aligned
And many questions filled my mind
Could we ever be so entwined
That we wont come maligned

When shadows burn in darkness
Death becomes nameless
Those that were entwined
become sinfully misaligned
Lunar light has been sealed
Never again to be revealed
All for greeds sake
But how much can one take
How much can we endure
Before we find the cure
Treat us like prey
Then scream obey
Level our town
And break us down
So we become hollow
No choice but follow
Who is willing to stand
And become the firebrand
Gods hear our cries
From blood teared eyes

Tonight the stars aligned
And many questions filled my mind
Could we ever be so entwined
That we wont come maligned
