*Song of Fire*
/Let me sing a song
A song of sorrow
Listen to the sound of my voice
But be warned
this is not a song of choice
This is a song that bring no
peace
The intrinsic rhythm of my song
is not for the weak
for it sounds like a melancholic distorted tune
from an old gramophone
My heart is too heavy for me
My eyes are a fountain of tears
Where will I find peace
All I hear is echoes and lamentations of the fatherless who cannot stand these times
Love, peace and joy are only found
in ancient folk tales
The truth has been condemned and exiled
it has become a thing of shame and remorse
As for me there is nothing left to take pleasure in
So I will sing a song of Sorrow
Nothing is left to desire or admire
Ruin ruin ruin
The whole land has become like a vast battle field
Causing untold desolation
Everyman takes pleasure in destruction
Trembling children, gnashing and gashing teeth,falling fathers and nursing nebulous nostalgia
Running to and from
Going hither and thither .
Mighty men of valour running from North to South then South to North
Running from the same calamity
But as for me and my worn out self
I am a mad mad mad man
An empty vessel with no vision
But give me your ear
for life is not about what you see
But what you hear
So listen to me while I sing a song
A song of sorrow
Society has became like a disease Driving us round the bend
Women hating even their own existence
Jealousy is a cruel cancer
Slowly eating away bonds that used to keep brothers and sisters united
Self centred son only wishing to move further from the father
Father can only give son a piece of avarice instead of a slice of advice
That can gives peace to the turbulent youthful heart and
for this
I will sing a song
A song of sorrow
This is the time of trouble
This is the time of lamentation
This is the year of wondering
Listen to the wailing of children
Even the mighty man of valour sleeps with one eye opened for a knock on is a signal of doom
I am an outpost living in
Obscurity, a soul swimming in the heart of reality
Even if my words fall on rocks I will live the whole of my life singing a song of sorrow
