The Bloody Battle
Droping down
to sit below the world
I watch in utter despair
as those I called friends
those I called allies
destroy themselves
kill each other from deep within
Hopeless I watch
without out knowing
what I could do to stop it all
So reaching up
I pull myself
up and out
from below
and I reach out to everyone I can reach
I whisper in their ears
and I tell them
secrets, wonderful beautiful secrets
about themselves
the secrets they don't know
I tell them
what they can become
but only if they put down that sword
that gun
and walk away peacefully
as some begin to walk away
I begin to smile as I go about my journey
The hardest journey of my life
the hardest challenge
to help others help themselves
yet as I watch a few turn back to battle
and it hits me
I cant help those blood thirsty for battle
they need to help themselves first
watching once more yet this time from a cloud
a cloud once white
now full of my tears
of my pain
and as it fills full of tears
it breaks and splatters the ground below
and at first the battle continues on below
then as the hurt from within all
erupts into lightning and thunder
the people begin to run
they begin to help each other
as they all search for a place of shelter
and I begin to laugh
for the irony of it all
natures hand in our life's can be
a most hidden
yet most marvelous blessing given to us mere mortals
here below the
one and only....
