THINK OF THE TIMES

Think of the times we are alone,

With nobody there to soothe our soul

Think of the times we want to fight,

With nobody there to make it right

Out there searching for something

Getting everything, still nothing

Think of the times we want to run,

When someone’s pointing a gun, playing us for fun

These times make us cry, sucking us dry

We then ask ourselves, where is happiness? Where is laughter?

Until we realise we don’t know what we are after!

Then we turn to shadows for redemption,

Pleading them to ease our pain end our suffocation

But shadows too cheat us, deserting us in life’s park

Parting ways when it is dark

Think of the times we are alone

Darkness not light guiding us home

Consumed by darkness’s fury

With no Gods freeing us by voicing our case like a jury

Think of the times we are running straight but falling

Falling and falling with no one to lift us high answer to our calling

Think of the times we prefer dreams to reality

Where we are free to create our identity

Where no one questions our integrity and everyone respects our genuinity

These times come in handy but they do teach us a lot

Life’s a spider web in which we are caught

We have to break free ourselves

Our chains can’t be broken by anyone else
