A Poem by Almost Alive
"

New styles I am trying.

"

My brothers and sister, I forgive all of your sins

And every single time you slashed me

Worry not, for I have been through a cleanse

It is not my medication, and so it was meant to be

I did not come here to rant, by all means

This is what I want you to see

 

Everything in life is vain, so long as you desire for more

Every person buys prayers right from the store

I understand more than you could possibly ignore

 

Everyone moves in logic lapses in life, trying to circle it

Just born, first opened your eyes underwater, shut them back fast

Water burned my whole skin for the rest of my past

Anoyone would think safety is the perfect fit

 

Everyone tries so hard to climb this tree

Where each of the fruits sheds blood from the very top

A single person would enough to wash it off and make it stop

But nobody wants to stand bellow this spree

 

I see a little girl, blindfolded, in front of a wall

She is expecting the gunfire and the bullets to come

While singing something incomprehensible, her body and soul fall

Yet, the bullets and guns into flowers become

Part of everything in the universe, like we had been told

She is still not on her way home

 

And she will no longer feel pain...

But I must be dreaming again

 

I was once consumed, but now I cut open my lids, releasing my eyes

And now I see clearly the way truth stains

My brothers and sisters, I absolve all of your lies

 

Everyone moves in logic lapses in life, trying to circle it

Just born, first opened your eyes underwater, shut them back fast

Water burned my whole skin for the rest of my past

Anyone would think safety is the perfect fit

 

Everyone tries so hard to climb this tree

Where each of the fruits sheds blood from the very top

A single person would enough to wash it off and make it stop

But nobody wants to stand bellow this spree

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, for I found illumination

And now I shall outshine every of my foes

Hallelujah, brothers and sisters, this is separation

 

Hallelujah, if a smile changed my f*****g mind

Then changing the whole world should be easy

Hallelujah, amen.
