TIME GOES ON
When the leaves fall and the trees all die; time goes on.
When the gods cry and the world
stands still; time goes on.
When the world turns dark and
the sun is extinguished; time goes on.
When a child cries alone because
his parents are gone; time goes on.
When all hope seems lost and the
end is nigh; time goes on.
When the dead lie un-avenged and
the guilty unpunished; time goes on.
A guilty man walks free and his
victim, dead.
A young boy lies underground, no
hope for his life.
A country lies fallen in ashes
and dust.
A lone wolf cries out to the
pack he has lost.
An infant lies in a dumpster
alone;
Her body now lifeless, bitter
and cold.
A forest burns down; its green
emeralds tarnished.
An ocean dries up and the fish
gasp for air.
Life’s sentence cut short, by
the scissors of despair.
A play unfinished, begins to
end.
Time goes on, as does the wind.
What the winds may carry, to
their desire unknown.
Comets tease the skies, stars
will fall.
While the pain lies deeper than
the blade can cut,
The innocent suffer and the
guilty get up.
A man leaves a courthouse no
different than before.
Poor Travon lies dead on the
floor.
A boy, not a man, cut short in
his prime.
A man, NO A MONSTER! Who won’t
give a dime.
A man will pay for his wrongs
that night.
No man can withstand the hammers
might.
When darkness prevails and
justice fails,
The pain hits hard like pins and
nails.
When all hope seems gone and all
is lost.
Time WILL go on, deaths scythe
is tossed.
But next time the man whose head
will fall;
Will be the one who started it
all.
When the darkness' flow is
replaced with light; time goes on.
When the moon is gone and so is
the night; time goes on.
When the blood of the innocent
is washed by tears; time goes on.
When the guilty fry and the
victors cheer; time goes on.
When an innocent boy becomes a
man among gods; time goes on.
When the truth breaks out
despite the odds; time goes on.
When the world screams for
vengeance and the skies turn red; time goes on.
Time.
Goes.
On.
