days

shooting for the middle in the broad day light

the bird had wings refusing flight

he was counseled on war and refused to fight

his house built in the desert on a cold blue night

there was a blizzard in darkness that blinded his eyes

his heart sinking as his little one cries

he took all of his colors and mixed them around

he painted all black from ceiling to ground

the canary won't sing without the sun

and all men are better while under the gun

Shelby, this brought to mind what is happening in the mid east and seeing the news with all of the little children thinking that kind of living is normal. Thank you for finding me, I think I am going to enjoy your writes. Valentine
