Behind
The escalation of religious wars
in the middle east and on many
other parts of the earth is very convulsing.
Everything is done to show
the antagonistical religion
as hostile to the own faith
and their effacement is the only alternative.
So, many people eschew to look behind
the facade and get a different,
personal point of view.
Children are really
not responsible for where they are born
and where they grow up, however,
they are passing for enemies
from their date of birth,
just because they are born
on the wrong side of town,
f.e.. What kind of a world are we living in?Sorting through this mess I happen on your smile
gleaming through a photograph buried for some while.
I'm taken by the way the swagger captured there
has vanished in the haze of time.
And by a foolish whim I'm stricken with desire
to phone you up and tell you of my find.
But as I stretch my hand
I'm reminded of the shape I'm in
from all the things you've left behind.
Man, I hate your friends
They really bring me down
And I can tell your not yourself whenever they're
around.
So ditch this motley crew for all the world of me
And leave these sorry few behind
I hope that by some master plan you're in the same
boat that I am
Waiting at a crossing path to seal away your life.
To lock inside a sacred bond so tight
And like this photograph the scattered thoughts of you
are frozen in the amber of my mind.
And boxes on the shelf of documents reminding me you
left an empty shell behind.
