Children Of the world

Children of the World

in the asylum
behind reinforced walls
and bolted steel doors
a child is tossed
to be hidden

away from the world
of torture and pain
away from the screams
of the condemned

blood on the bars
that contain the hate
fight for the spread of desire
challenge what you know
and break free

away from the cities
of violence on streets
away from the towns
of burning rain

wade in the pools
of the sadness divine
castration of weaknesses
that cloud the mind
live for life

away from the hardships
of yesterdays past
away from the pride
of lasting hope

bring on the power
that gives you the strength
to turn away from all
that your hold dear
find an isle of seclusion
that may keep you sane
believe what you will
to survive
