The Fear Of Tomorrow by mega411(m): 10:23pm On Nov 17, 2020 |
That little heart that knew no hate That gentle soul that sure was fair The game of life is rigged It can not be won Unless there is human sacrifice Life gave the knife But I slit his throat Life dug the grave But I buried him Mother sorry for your loss I just murdered your little boy No guilt, no remorse I blamed it all on life That little heart that knew no hate That gentle soul that sure was fair At me the sun was laughing For making moves to escape my shadow At night the moon was smiling Because tomorrow is coming At dawn the hens joined the cocks in crowing Because "tomorrow" didn't come alone It came with nemesis What have I done? I should have said no I should have saved him Maybe that would mean being poor But I would have been poor and free Maybe that would mean having no friends But my conscience would have been with me That little heart that knew no hate That gentle soul that sure was fair That little boy that died by my hands That little boy was me. |
