hiding amongst the broken dreams

hiding amongst the broken dreams I watch the people of the light smiling,laughing.happy pleased with themselves to be alive

pain is the price of freedom but I'm free

these guns the extension of me still as clean and useful as they were when put away

yet tainted by unending memories as I pull them out . . . . . .

flashbacks pinpoint to when the triggers were pulled

its not the knowing

but the knowing when and where the bullets struck those are the memories I try to put aside the world dies at the hands of men

look to the streets of the dying cities that are a reflection of the rotten heart of humankind there's nothing left to show of springs young love

with the exception of a few leaves here and there that still cling to the branches fighting against a barren winters landscape.

do you remember why you ever loved me in the first place
I don't ....
hiding amongst the broken dreams
I watch the people of the light smiling,laughing.happy pleased with themselves to be alive pain is the price of freedom
but I'm free

dinner guests world travelers discussed what is better here. In many countries there is no recourse to civil rights violations, unable to get jobs, limited opportunities.
