black water

under the moonlit sky, 

follows the following words: 

never rest, 

never rest. 

the world continues to spin. 

don't look back, 

keep your eyes forward. 

nothing matters but the front, 

the back is gone and unimportant. 

under the moonlit sky, 

follows the black cat with no partner. 

singing by itself, by desiring company. 

singing, but alone. depressed. 

when will my prayers be heard, 

i don't pray, 

but my wishes are ever so strong. 

i am but one human in a vast world

with a long history, 

longer than i can comprehend, i know. 

but will you hear me out?

even if there are other people whose wishes are important?

maybe my wishes aren't that important. not urgent. 

there are children in danger. 

women dying. 

men killed. 

what could be important of my wishes, 

if a world is in danger. 

a city cannot be taken priority when another village is under attack. 

who would save me, if i was in danger? if my life was on the line. 

who would travel under the stars, in the black of night to come find me? 

no one, i'd suppose. 

can someone please hear me, 

you don't need to hear me cry, and feel my pain. 

but i am reaching out, praying, crying, and whining. 

this can't go on.
