MAJESTIC DEATH Karen Torbiak 2000 My heart still bleeds with tears as I remember the Majestic Death filling the eyes in my eastern home Limbs barren and thin reaching to the skies begging for release from a pain not self inflicted Body scarred with beatings over many years rained down continuously on innocent victims No more does vibrant life and laughter sing among so many lift with life scarring pain The few who loved them still weep for the pain and suffering went to the very core bringing prolonged and painful death The world closes eyes that they not see for fear this suffering they have power to stop No ears to hear the cries of so many as their hearts are burned and they left with naked pain The pain and loss is etched on them for all the world to see who would be willing to open eyes and look No one cares about the burning fires rained down on these who have ever been our friends We stand by and watch Majestic Death come to these TREES from Acid Rain made by man in his greed Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |
