Heya Guys, First Post In A While.. Writing's Got Dodgey.. Was just messing with some words n come up with this..(Thanks FallingRain for helping me with this one! ________________________________ Twighlight If you’re out there reading this On a night that’s fading grey A life will be taken skilfully And it will be taken here today As the day drew to a close A man began to cry He sat about the soiled edge And prayed he didn’t have to die His message wasn’t one of hope Nor that one ofjoy The angel’s didn’t have the words To help him fill the void So solemnly he held his head And fought back the poisoned tears For twilight had awoken him He’d been expecting this for years You see he wasn’t needed here Bought more harm than good Took the lives of innocents And any children that he could The angels stood for one last time As the blood washed down the shore Another life just gone to waste Another memory to mourn And in a grave they made themselves They laid that man to rest Propped up by a leaf or two They laid the bullet on his chest But printed on the headstone In words faded black “Taken by the firing squad” He aint never coming back.. |
