Inspired by the movie Sweeney Todd. |
Allotted time the spider has drawn her web Into it all the worlds evil is fed It is a web of black a web of sins Where the filth and hate of man begins The sea of darkness seems to swim Below to catch the corpses of those now grim The gunpowder air now breathable As the dream world around her tangible The soil sinks beneath her as she falls in the grave Alone he stands a hurt, sad mourner, a victim, a slave The birth untold the happiness they could have had Brought to light and became what WOULD have A boy alone walks with arms closed tight Holding himself to shield from the cold night A beating waits for him he knows so well He does not walk home but into hell Instead of arms to hold him close in loves embrace Instead, a cold hard fist that bruises his body and face Away he walked in agony the poor old man stumbles down the walk He could not help but remember screaming, blood and the lines of chalk Outlined in his mind around his childhood dreams The center of his being breaking at the seems His mind quite gone as so many before him fell This night will take him for he has no one to bid him farewell The boss cut pay again today Twice now the employees say As they plan to survive on what they receive from one man Who holds their well being, their lives in his hands No one knew the twisted corporate ways His mind had shapened over the years, months and days We live in a broken world where everything is an escape Nothing is said about trial, murder, or rape The world we envision is all built on a lie because all of its inhabitance have all but died We are lost to ourselves things we cannot overcome For once in a while, forever becomes numb When our world collapses and our arms struggle to keep us from being crushed No one is helping, because they are in their escapes, their ruts When someone calls out for help do not hesitate to oblige Do not use them and dump them and thank them for the ride Life is more than just what we want here and now People could stop hurting if we just showed them how Teachings of love and joy, laughter and praise Proof our perfect world might just one day raise. |
