While fireworks are a beautiful expression of freedom I find them more complex then that.
The War of the Fireworks



By: Danie Daniels



The crackling of fire
It en-lights the soul
Thousands of gunshots
That makes us whole
In the sky is the war
The war that will never end
All the pain and hate today
The love will only descend

How can we forgive and forget
If we don’t even forgive ourselves
For the anger we’ve caused to our lives
and to others as well
I doubt they’ll forget and neither will we
But we can go on with our lives
And live happily

The death will continue
the scars will rage on
I can’t find a reason why
But we can’t get along
Why is anger controlling our lives
Why do we break our hearts
Just to only find
That we’re falling apart

We’re all one
Together we’ll be complete
To end this war
We have to admit defeat
Love is strong
But it’s what we lack
It’s the only key
That’ll help us fight back.


The rage in the sky
It gives me great grief
While to others it’s amusing
I find it’s confusing
That we don’t understand
That the hate will never end
A fury burning in our hearts and souls

As the fireworks stop
The echo subsides
I remember an important thing
We can still change our lives
With friends by our side
The bonds will grow
However the secrets that hides
We might never know

We can re-write the ending we’ve created
That only ends in destruction
As we realize that we’re all equal
Is the first step in correction
As songs become pomes and pomes into song
I hope in the end we can all get along
