Another year, another page
Another bloom, another cage
We’re walking the same paths
Singing the same tunes
Building the same dreams
Confronting the same fears
They’re fighting the same wars
Dying without a cause…
Lives marred and faces scarred
Killers born and lovers torn
Hopes detached and woes attached
Where have we come?
Where are we now?
Where is He now that men have veered?
Where was He when our souls escaped?
And we keep walking…
We’re hoping for a change
They’re begging, they’re deranged
Amidst the bombs that light their skies
The clouds of dust that line their eyes
Humanity has to prevail
Life is lost
Hopes ablaze
Laughter drowned
But the rooster crows
Yet we are still walking…
Preoccupied in our miseries
Of nothingness
Ambiguous
Indifferently
We lead our empty lives
But if everyone cared and everyone shared
And nobody avenged or despised
This could have been a better place
For another year, another page.
