 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

All that is beautiful...



Still I hunger for answers to questions
to understand deep feelings forever raging inside
my emotions do battle to quieten the landscape
but still the war rages, and still we all die.

It has become all too easy to give no answers to questions
though the rhetoric and stories we'll feed on all day
without understanding the consequence of just doing nothing
while the forces of evil feed on us as their prey.

We all want to believe that our masters have values
we all want to believe they would tell us no lies…
but the truth is that for every word that is spoken
the truth has far faded into a thing to despise.

How can mankind secure our future foundations…?
when what's buried below could bring our house down?
surely truth is the tool that we all need to build on
before all that is beautiful is burnt to the ground.
