the world is collapsing
strangers attacking
addicts relapsing
diseases contracting
evil men planning
i hold on
to all i have
before it is taken
before the core
of the earth is shaken
no use
in trying to deny
i am going to die
not a single soul
will question why
i was made to fly
always thought
i was the bad
took advantage of
all that i had
but all i planned
was a kitchen
an open window
a birdsong
a slice of cake
not innocent lives at stake
my heart breaks
from the heartache
i’ve made mistakes
but never indulged
in so much greed
i strip others
of their right to be free
this world
does not know empathy
this will be
the end of me
selfish, evil men
smiling with
bloodstained teeth
lately
i have done nothing
but grieve
for all the love
that could have been
i plead
for love
to embody our being
i fall to my knees
and beg God to come home
i want to come home.
