WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO
What do you listen to inside the silence of you of yourself and the silence of today's world? being the words spoken are not the same as we played with as innocent children a braver, kinder world.
Now we are both getting older what are we trying to say to each other how will the storms be weathered? no longer can I sit back watching them drink their expensive wine claiming that the one who speaks the truth while questioning theirs is the only sinner?
I feel like Jesus Christ being crucified on the cross but unlike their savior, I will not rise from the dead yet I will be somebodies
King with the words that I said,I will be their burning angel without wings
What do you listen to when you need some kind of a prayer that as not yet been written?
