Lightning flashing Thunder rolling disturbing bowling alleys & streetlights No space FLASHCRASH!! babies crying women angry men laughing drinking death knocking parties continue life goes on Why? disaster No one cares? I can hear a child whimpering yet still men only laugh Woman is mad bottles clinking or is it souls? Souls like glass...seethrough solid real useful easily shattered What is the soul? Is it the heart? Love burns there deepest desires fears dreams or is it the conscience? Right and Wrong live here Right and Wrong? Right to mourn loss but disaster strikes life goes on surely the soul is not there In the heart? Children die War torn streets Couples divide surely the soul is not there like glass...real like a glass, half full? or half empty? maybe fully gone I sit 15 feet above resting waters parties continue life continues but now disaster is the talk like media we dwell The rain has stopped Problems gone Right? fires still rage in the mountains Nature fights for her life Along with firemen The soul... Ask yourself Is your glass half full? [This message has been edited by rojogrande (edited 09-08-2000).] |
