Waiting


Waiting for the dove to fly
but it holds no interest in flight
crying tears of frustration
crying the blood of our nation
peace from angered shouts of war
that screams from the moneyed throats
peace from the gunshot and conflict
from the falsity winning votes


Waiting to hear childrens laughter
but it's never heard loud enough
begging for a better tomorrow
begging to hearts so hollow
humanity from the heartless
that propogate phony lies
humanity from the cruel and ruthless
from the ears deaf to innocent cries


Waiting for tomorrow to come
time passes slowly by
wishing our lives away
wishing for another day
freedom from the political bars
locking away the sorrowed eyes
freedom from the lies and brutality
from the heart wrenching goodbyes
