Only words that can express
The feeling
Deep inside my loneliness
Couldn't know of the effect
When dealing
So I must come recollect
Time to wash away the dream
And being
Sold out by the idle scream
I have died before my time
I'm seeing
But I've called your common crime

Now that I have searched you down
The payments
For my life you begin now
My two hands are not as small
The day since
When you won our final brawl
Here I have come back as you
With violence
And do just what you taught me to
Soon whats life will become death
And silence
You can't even catch you breath

Walking back now no regret
No lament
For your shaking silouette
Its my life I'm in control
The years spent
Now in peace I rest my soul

This depicts the destructive kinds of cycles that are becoming all too common in the lives of young people today.  This stanza:
     "Here I have come back as you
      With violence
      And do just what you taught me to"
says it all.  This is a very powerful piece of work.

Outstanding piece of writing, so full of emotion, and powerful statements. I believe it must have been very good therapy to write it.

Very powerful and moving Bob.  What legacies we pass down from generation to generation.
