Heartbeats and Handguns In the days of old we fought for food and gold Now the battle begins for dinausaur bones While far off thrones keep us awake at night Worried over fake threats and terrorist fights Heartbeats and handguns The dying light of a newborn sun Where are your children at While you work like a rat Their in the streets smoking crack Or at the mall gettin fat A slap in the face to all those who died in their place A disgrace to freedom And all our forfathers dreaming About homes Community What we could have become in our beautiful cities While now we slip into something to pity It ain't pretty Heartbeats and handguns The dying light of a new born sun I had a daughter Never gonna get the chance to have taught her About rain Wind And water Pray that all this ain't for nothing There must be something I'm running Heartbeats and handguns The dying light of a newborn sun People screaming peace Nobody listening Except the poor and the free Everybody else is too busy trying to grease The system Babylon The cage that we rattle on Waiting here to see what it is we'll be dying from Heartbeats and handguns The dying light of a newborn sun Children in foreign lands Waiting for the day they can say They landed one of us Another suicide bomber Looking for Allah's trust Just listen to the ground in the dust You'll hear the sound Here they come Heartbeats and handguns The last days Of the dying light Of a newborn sun |

 (big hugggsssssss) This is such a heartacing but powerfully well-written debut, sweet friend, my prayers go out to all the world to stay safe during this depressing time, God Bless You! Welcome to Passions, sweet friend, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!    May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Nothing to smile about here, except that we are lucky to have another day today to try to get it right. Powerfully written, intense imagery. Welcome to Passions. We talk and write about many things here, one of them is this madness that surrounds us, threatening to tear the world apart in a split second. I hope you also take time to smell some roses, the fragrant beauty of LOVE that overflows these pages. Enjoy the moments you have, and share them with your loved ones. Namaste, and Peace to you. May ripples of LOVE |
