Killing Time

A privileged world

Of pissed off people

Never getting their due

With sunshine bright

And plentiful

But embraced

By only few.

A plentiful harvest

A Garden of Eden

And still some will

Find a way

To darken the sky

Bruise the land

And lay a torch to hay.

A knowledge world

Of pissed off people

Never getting their due

With growth around

Every corner

But only embraced by few

With a chance to learn

A chance to grow

But ignorance sought by most

Who embrace this with a toast

A plentiful harvest

A Garden of Eden

And still those who

Each day

Darken the sky

Bruise the land

And lay their torch to hay

A charitable world

Of pissed off people

Never getting their due

A moment in time

For the giving heart but

Only embraced by few

Opportunity to  love

A chance to give

Faith and strength

Will grow today

But only a few will

Embrace this time that

Most will throw away

While a darkened sky

A bruised land

Will no longer produce the hay.
