Follow me down to the stairs of the world
follow me down to the hole
See what the world has made of itself
the sacrifices we all call
The sweet surrender victory that
we push to our hearts able might
Is all of our souls loosing their faith
as the Gods laugh at us now.

See how the daughter of america's dream
spits at the fame that she won
How she wants to be free from the pain
how she wants to give up
She says on the phone that laughing again
as the tears drop from her cheeks
Is'nt she happy to feel again
or the pleasure of missery.

Here is the son of capitialist pride
the votes he bought with his blood
Promising he would do good again
as he swallowed another few drugs
The words he says are the ones on the page
they mean nothing to him anymore
He falls into his oblivion stage
so he can live once more.

Follow me down to the stairs of the world
see how the stars fade away
How easy it is to collapse on ourselves
when we want the pain to fade
What ever happend to our self sanity
did all just end in a joke
Or is this the new world tragedy
we all just live in our hopes.

This day and age is disappointing and heartbreaking...

but we must not give up or give in to the depression and join the masses...let's be the few shining souls at the end of the tunnel and set the example of happiness...

Wow...I have no idea where that all came from.  I guess I was moved my your words...

Wonderful write...


I love the time
and in between
the calm inside me
in the space
where I can breathe...
