Two strangers



Two strangers wandering through the night
Eyes as empty as midnight's ghost
Following nothing but the darkness
Never have their eyes befallen joy
So never will they know a reason to cry
Nothing can consume their empty souls
As there is nothing there to feast upon
They do not know where they are going
Nor do they know what surrounds them.
And following the darkness is a long road
Only the moon knows who they really are
They are the fear we do not know is there
When the sky turns dark, they come out of hiding
Two strangers wandering through the night
Disappear before hope has returned

WE ARE WAR


WE ARE WAR
   
All the things we swore to forget, we remembered.
All the things we swore to save, we let perish.
All the things we swore to never say, we said.
All the things we swore to stay with, we left.

We are the people who destroyed people.
The people who destroyed empires.
The people who destroyed worlds.

I hope you know that we are not on your side.
I hope you know that we will never surrender to the war that you created.

We shall not end it.

If you are stupid enough to keep fighting against us, an invisible army, then so be it.
I hope that you are ready for us because we show no mercy.
Look at what we’ve made.
We’ve made weapons and  machines capable of killing in an instant.
Music boxes, filled with the sound of joy, now play the music of death.

Yet you still trust us?

And you know who we are.
We are you…

Note: I wrote this whilst off ill from school one day, listening to these YouTube tracks by HDsoundDI. My Dad said the music summed up the sounds of war. Let me know what you think. . .

Poem



Come home

Come home father
Why did you leave?
You left my mother
And you left me

All of our memories
Are fading away
Tears and sadness
Why didn't you stay?

It's been so long now
Here without you
Mothers got cancer
I've got the 'flu

Scared of the hospital
Scared of the cries
All of them dying
Please dry my eyes

I'm getting old now
I've moved away
Wrinkles are forming 
Hair turning grey

I'm still your baby
Mother has gone
She forgot to love you
Where'd it go wrong?

Come home father
Why did you leave?
I'm moving to heaven
Meet me there please
