Zenarchery

I believe in the future we will suffer no more
Maybe not in my lifetime, but in yours, I feel sure
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
Lightning pushes the edges of the thunderstorm
And these streets, quiet as a sleeping army
Send their battered dreams to heaven
To heaven
For the mother's restless son
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior
Who denies his urge to break and run
Who says "Hard times? I'm used to them
The speeding planet burns, I'm used to that
My life's so common it disappears
And sometimes even music
Cannot substitute for tears"
