Angels Scream

based on "Heaven Help Us" by My Chemical Romance

 

The legion inside me murmurs as the darkness falls abrupt,
the shadows fall like cinder blocks,
our eyes like jagged rocks.

Behold the wicked whispers,
through the barrel of a gun,
you're not old enough to drink,
but pull a pin and join the fun.

They hand us all the nails we need,
so mother don't you fear,
in days or months I'll come back home,
and there'll be dollars for your tears.

The rythm drums inside my head,
their words echo through the dark,
Work will set you free my love,
all you need is trust.

"The rythm drums inside my head,

Work will set you free my love,
all you need is trust."

Change that to "rhythm" and you're on! ;-) I dig the message of this poem, with its subtle hint at the mechanisms of warfare and exploitation in the world countered w/a spiritually personalized work ethic.

I embrace these lines of yours personally, darlin'. Words to live by.

Fine reminder of essential wisdom, fine lines. Thanks, and Holiday Cheer!
