 Rainbows in Water

Salted Values


(I wrote this because of the things that have been going on so long in this world, the only thing that seems to change are the type of weapons, and those who wield them)


Wandering worlds
within the sight of my eyes
Searching out visions
seeing how tomorrow my lie
A shadow of a smile
that ghost on the land
Bringing sweet grass
so hungry buffalo can stand.

Pride of the world
may die in a walk
Upon frozen ground
where dead will not talk
Times for the truth
which they never would tell
Compassion an illusion
with frozen bodies in Hell.

Roads of destruction
obliteration of a name
The years may have passed us
but the results are still the same
To force upon one
the view that we see
Is it really for the good
or is there evil in me.

Stand night on the hill tops
while innocence may die
The wind brought by bullets
find someone for whom to cry
The little sad bundle
that is buried in the sand
Was it concern for tomorrow
that a life ended it span.

War full of children
while old men stay home
They growl at each other
like a dog worrying a bone
To go off into the night
with a mission from God
Making all into our image
a right to be gone.

Slavery of purpose
blind faith that will lead
Death on all doorsteps
losing life and be freed
The differences are many
yet one remains the same
All life is  precious
never to be gambled away.
