Witnessing All
Having witnessed for 1000 years manmade
oppressions and sins
I`ve become so speechless and meek
Have seen so many things that I shouldn`t
have seen;my boyhood couldn`t stay for my
manhood`s sins
Oh now I`ve become so tired and uncouth
carrying always on my shoulders the sins of
this Cynical Show what we mortals call bowing
to the Unknown
Thus I was doing fine,lonely,alone,hanging
around the school`s ground;then suddenly she
appeared wearing beauty`s apparel
Hunted me down with her temptations,sudden love
sudden anger;same she disappeared out of
nowhere;the only difference though she made
me her love maniac;days and nights I her
remember drifting,gliding through the pink
pale empty emphyrean;hey arti,let there be
light;stop genocide,a tale of two cities
