Dear Son,thou Art' More Than Ordinary!* by profakins22(m): 1:03pm On Jul 28, 2019 |
*Dear Son,thou art' more than ordinary!* A lot of us dreamt of so a simple life, One with happiness filled all around, An house by the sea shores, All troubles, chaos of man left abroad shores Just in a glass house, Blessed with every morning sight of rising sun, Not much money to bring us fear, Not less,to drive us to beg, Not a name on marbles on national memorials, And to be washed away like feets mark on sea shores, just us with the very ones we loved, As simple as we wished, It never was meant for us In the deepest of our souls rise the vilest of cries, A voice shaken like reeds in the wild, With fears like the sight of volcanoes stones, Crying out loud "you were made for more " We fear the darks, So we quiver in the cold with our eyes closed We fear our lights We hide our lamps under bushels of silent grooves Afraid to aim and miss, Afraid to fight and loose We fear to dream and fail We hover around in circles Afraid to shine our lights So the world afford us less criticism and despair We hide in the blossom of "good" When in us,hidden is power of "best" We wish the world rides, And pass us bye O' Dear son, Thou art' more than ordinary A clear script to be written with inks of time A brazened name to be tag on marbles of gold Love the darkness, For it will show you stars Breathe the sparks Let it burn like wild flames For this you know far above all things, Silencing the voice roaring inside of you The cry for "more from the talents of you" Is death counting on every seconds you spend Dear son, what shall we do today "Same, as we will always do" Dream big and take over the world!!! @profakins |
