they silenced the dreams
they have drugged them with greed
with instant gratification
with tvs
with magazines
with food
with obesity
with all these
lovely things
which are crushing
angels wings
they have silenced the dreamers
killing the believers
living in a land
of make believe
where we worship
whatever we think
we need
for
security
we live to die
die to live
i sit restless
hearing
children screaming
they are starving
dying
millions
from no food
slowly
they lay on the ground
grasping for breath
one by one
millions
one by one
while here
we eat till we cannot move
cannot think
cannot dream
cannot be
we eat
to silence
ourselves
to comfort ourselves
to destroy ourselves
i hear the bodies screaming
sitting across from me
so large
so clogged
so destroyed
it can hardly move
i hear the children
i hear the bodies
suffocating
i hear the kids
alone
no one there
no mom
no father
or if there is a father
he would rather
be in front of
a box
watching a screen
than hearing
his children
scream
cause they are
lonely
shut up
he screams
when they cry
or i will give you something
to cry about
no wonder they turn to
drugs
for a way out
no wonder i walk
down the street
and i see
the little boy
looking at me
small
tiny
a tear
falls from his eye
his father
shakes him
hard
why are you crying
i want to reach out
to take him home
to hold him
to pull him away
from the father
who hit him
the father who
beats him
they scream
why
when they cry
i sit and
i feel like
my heart is falling
out and i want to reach out
and touch
the child
just for a second
but the father looks at me
and i know
it is danger
i hear the gunshots
go off
another body
in the sidewalk
killed for money
killed for anger
killed for jealousy
i look around
scan the crowds
look for souls
feel for life
i feel the children
so many
are already
hopeless
so young
and already
the spark
the fire
the lust for life
the dream
is crushed
i come home
i sit here
day after
day
what can  i do
what can i say
how can i stay awake
it's hard
everywhere i go
there is a pill or
a vice
a choice
i must make
every day
a million distractions
every day
fears
and doubt
come to hunt
me down
and then i scream out
i scream loud
my heart screams
so it doesn't bother
the neighbors
although
they are always fighting
so i am sure it wouldn't matter
i just want them to
stop dying
start living
every time i see
pain
i want to make it go
away
i see lots of it
so most the time
i work
and work
and try
to do
what i
can to
push
a little love
through
i find holes
where i can
that aren't blocked
and i push
love into them
one
at a time
when i can
i take away
others pain
i know it sounds strange
but that's what
love will do
you take it out
and you put the pain
to use
i collect others pain
i used to carry it around
then i learned
i couldn't
it passes through but sometimes
i take as much as i can
i carry it to heaven
i sit there
and take my case to god
God
where are all the dreamers
sometimes God
won't answer me
except he says
in time
but God i feel alone
i feel like no one else
cares
about anything anymore
people don't live to try to
give
they only want to take
they don't live to try to help
but to hate
then don't live to love
but to abuse
God i feel all alone
i feel like there
is no one left
and i know a few
but it seems like so many
are chained to the ground
afraid of losing
there security
if they opened there wings
and really believed
God i went to your houses
and they were empty
mostly
hardly
did anyone even
look at me
where are you now
i done see you anymore
and i am looking
so how is anyone else going to see you
you made a promise
you said everyone would see you
at least once
in there lives
but what if once
isn't enough
what if they don't
get a clear view
back here now
i sit
i wait
i pray
meditate
it's all the same
why do we kill for religion
why do we hate over tradition
who cares
none of it matters anyway
the only thing it does
is keep us
apart
from each other
apart from love
apart from truth
there are days like these
when i see more
than i want to see
i feel more
than i want to feel
and it drives me to the ground
where i curl  up
and i cry out
for all the lost dreamers
for them to be found
i want to go out
i want to be everywhere
i want to love
everyone
my love may be different than your idea
to me love
is about lifting up
about helping people
believe
in themselves
once you believe
in yourself
you can love
everyone else
but now i watch as
many
slip
away and i reach out
but i feel like
so many are falling
at once
but there are those
who are around me
who have become
awake
out of sleep
and then stay close
and we are a strange
odd
creative
family
and they remind me
it is not hopeless
because they
are all like me
i was
one no one
believed
could do anything
and i have done nothing
more
then follow
my dream
and maybe
that is the only
thing anyone
needs to do
to be
at peace
i look to the moon
and pray
for heaven
to touch the earth
to let light fall
to the ground
to open the hearts
and light the fires
it's never too soon
i say
and as usual
i hear
the words
in time
but time
is fading
time is slipping
half my life is gone
and the world
is twisting
into a ball
of chaos
quickly
and if it continues
like this
how much
time is left
the stars shine
i think of those i know
out there
who are waking from there
sleep
send an angel
to everyone
to help them
see
cause it's hard
to be awake
send an angel
to protect them
from the invisible
beast
which feeds
on your body
as your mind sleeps
send an angel
to guide them
to safety
send them angels
to help them
see
the lessons
life wants to teach
if we chose to play
send them an angel
to help keep the dark
away
at
least till they learn
to see the difference
between
truth and lies
send them an angel
to comfort them
in there silent
inner unheard cries
send them an angel
give them one of mine
just
please
send them
love
to keep them alive
send them angels
in disguise
to help them
along in life
protect them when
they are weak
when they are blind
when they are lost
when they cant sleep
when they feel
like you
and i
and the angels
couldn't
care
if they lived
or died
send them an angel
to help them
see
how to
dream
