Young blood into stars
a poem for lost life (2015)
Something is wrong
Time is gone
We're all at a loss
Too much spilled so easily
where has it gone
too early to make a difference
too much young blood, easily gone
goo smart, too talented, too skilled, too strong
question whats going on
some force is pulling them all away
then who is left to stay
for what of what purpose
before one can fill a purpose
Only hope somewhere
theres a place for you
do something bigger
than ever had chance to
lead an army
inspire a nation
maybe somewhere separate
you breathe your existence
maybe you'll be the inspiration
maybe you'll be the reason
to cure a horrible condition
maybe you can spark the spark
to ignite change, just like a star
shining bright through darkness
from a million miles away
so high in the sky
at a distance, you are safe
lighting a way for the lost
you are a gain- not a loss
maybe you can be better
by all the hearts you touched
maybe you make it better
maybe we learn the patience
maybe we find the better way
because you are somewhere
trying to light the way
if we only knew to look
if we only looked to find
that idea, that thought
that hope, that spark
