Sunlight
January 15, 2010
Sunlight falls
On broken hearts
The moonbeams break
In broken shards
The cloudy skies
The broken lies
The tears I shed
The blood I bled
The alibis
Our lives are lies
No exception
For pure determination
Or broken nation
A sad place in
This sad world
I think and curl
Up in my bed
For the many we know are dead
Because of our guns
The many sons
Of sad Iraq
We had their back
Then we stabbed it
When we had it
up to here
With there fear
I just wish that sunlight
Would just end the fight.
