Dirty Little Haven

Heaven is falling apart

Its pieces falling on my head

What is my part?

Do I move ahead?

Or do I sit and cry

Watching my life pass me by

Is this the life we live?

Or should we strive?

Move forward in time

Listen to the rhyme

Learn their wonderful life

As heaven falls from the sky



Hopes and dreams

Torn at the seems

Life and pain go hand-in-hand

So we must move ahead



Life’s a river

Fierce and strong

It shall never

Take us down

So says the people

But is that true

Or are we sheeples,

In the Land of the True



Hopes and dreams

Torn at the seems

Life and pain go hand-in-hand

So we must move ahead



The government says all is well

But I can see that we are in hell

Who can believe in heaven?

In our dirty little haven



Filled with remorse

Over the lost source

Of life and love

We must rise above

Of the harmful pace

Of the American race



Hopes and dreams

Torn at the seems

Life and pain go hand-in-hand

So we must move ahead

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is the first poem I ever wrote and I'm not sure what it's about anymore because I was feeling so many things that day.
