Poem Scarecrow

Scarecrow (Janius)

Suspended in life unchanging
Broken and lifeless eyes stare at nothing
Empty thoughts and a cold heart
Sings to show you that I don’t care

Reasons and actions with no explanation
Pressure of the world and war crush me to death
My mind breaks in two I have changed
I look the same but feel like a stranger

Two people smashed in one body
One life two choices to make will I survive
Too much conflict in my mind
A wrong choice made several lives destroyed

Peace and happiness have betrayed and left me
No second chance the is the last time this time
Broken hearts and shattered families strewn about
Disappointment and guilt I don’t feel I am broken

What once was good now is broken and evil
Nothing matters now only my will and desire
Divorce and rejection circle my choice
I act like nothing happened and live on

Poem Millionaire

Millionaire

This mansion is cold and empty
This man has all the money he needs
His possessions outnumber everyone’s
But he is not happy

This man is rich but not wealthy
In all that he has something’s missing
He runs a successful business
And comes home to no one

The flaw in all his riches
Is the absence of love
Its gentle touch warms a home
It makes a rich man wealthy

But he passed up his moment
Gave up love for more money
This greedy man now alone
Sitting in a loveless home

All the possessions in the world
Cant outweigh the power
That love has to change a life
A lonely rich man in a cold house cries

Song A Voice in The Distance

A Voice In The Distance

When I was born I didn't know where I came from or where i was going
all i knew was that i loved my mommy and she knew what was right
when i was eight i started on my journey towards the voice
there were many paths but only one was right

far over the mainland and across the sea
there was a voice come follow me
i didn't know what it was or what it meant
but it was kind and still

i got stuck now back on the right path i go onward to the gentle voice i go
so close now i can see a man dressed in white that blinds the eyes
i did everything you told me to and tried my best

far over the mainland and across the sea
there was a voice come follow me
i didn't know what it was or what it meant
but it was kind and still

i almost made it and that’s what counts
the man i saw came and pulled me to shore
he smiled and said worry no more
you are forgiven and you made it to your goal

Far over the mainland and across the sea
the lord said come follow me
i now what it was and what it meant
and it was kind and still

kind and still

kind and still

kind ...and still
