I am all things

sorenbarrett

I'm an old man, the poor, a small child

an addict, governor, a prisoner chained

the unemployed, a refugee exiled

a soldier, coward, the deranged

 

I am the roads, the buildings, cars and trains

the birds, rocks, dirt, sky, and trees

moon, planets, the stars domains

I am the hills, the valley's the rivers and seas

I am the rain, scorching sun and lightning

a hurricane, earthquakes, floods, devastation

hunger, thirst, ignorance and enlightening

a beam of light, an atom, and germination

 

I am hatred, revenge, peace and love

a scar, a cut, a suture

the devils below and angels above

ghosts of the past, pain of the present, and hope of the future

          In our life we are many things soren but hopefully from what we learn we will become better people and learn to live good helpful lives.
