My Thoughts During A Time of Pain and Suffering |
Oh Captain! Oh Captain! Who has sent you out to sea Without your head and burnt you from your knees? I know that you were hated and seen as a villain For many counts of selling countless children. But your grave has been sealed for centuries And people still exclaim your name as foul. Is this how you remember me? Oh General! Oh General! Who has thrown you from your horse? Why have you been treated with such hatred and no remorse? Arise and stand tall, once and noble gentleman! A father to his country and a state’s specimen A leader of many arms of a united brotherhood Fighting for what he believed and even if you disagree No man should be treated with distain and hate Is this how you remember me? Oh hero! Oh hero! Who has spat onto your face And defiled your memorial with such disgrace? A symbol of hope and courage who taught the masses Showing us humility along with his passion for brasses. The once glowing star turned dark. Why target a teacher of change with such indecency When we should celebrate such greatness to learn from? Is this how you remember me? Oh Discord! Why Discord! Why do you cause such misery? I know misery loves company but do not bash the face of history! You caused a ripple in the united brotherhood of men for what purpose To guide us back around through this never-ending circle?! When will this end? When my words are dead and buried Or when the Father comes to reclaim his kingdom and sets us free? Breaking the shackles that have caused us endless torment: Is this how you remember me? Oh children, sweet children, why have you neglected me and the past? We taught you and taught you and yet: why have you laughed. We wrote you these words as a reminder to view All things through a different avenue! But you have twisted our words and distorted the lesson And now grand cities cry in anger and with saddened distraught Burning, ever burning like an ever-growing candle Is this History’s grand fault? Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Please send us a wise man Someone who can lead us back to where we began Help the masses and will teach us a lesson To give us direction about the old man’s blessing Time for action and a time for caution Grant us understanding when they should be used While being strict with warning: History shall not be forgotten or abused! |
