The road starts in me

Out of the shadow of pain
Steps out the light
Once again

From the fog
Of lonely tears
Arises the desire
To live life
Without fears

Just yesterday
Everything seemed
Under control
Today we count
The dead
With high toll

The dream is replaced
By a rude awakening
To a foreign space

Our mind harbors
Pictures of blood
And revenge
But the heart
Cries out loud
For forgiveness not pride

Reality hit the roof
Of our civilization
The world has to act
As one nation

War will only destroy
The fragile balance
Earth is not a rubber toy

There is no evil
On the planet
Only misguided people
Who play devil

Who ever kill others
In the name of a God
Has lost the way to his brothers

We are responsible
For the lack of love
In the hearts of the invisible

With closed eyes we walk Our way
To leave behind the Damaged
On the streets of Yesterday

We climb the ladder
To the cooperate sky
While others are deprived
Of food and love as they Die

Tomorrow can only arrive
If everyone else
Gets a seat on this drive

The goal is to know
That we are in the same Boat
To carry everyone’s load

Today I make sure
That the roads of my Mind
Are save to travel
For all of mankind

Hey Richard,

Thanks for visiting my blog. As regards your comment, I am afraid I don't even know where Olympic Mills is!... which is not a good sign (at least for me).
