Smiles of Joy
Their killing off the future so the past can reside in the present
The bells are ringing with the purest sound with singing intent
Calling loud, the voices screaming into open ears, listening deaf
Speechless, stand and walk the foe all bundled up and ready to go
An army of weak minded fools, thinking on their own in eternity
Blood lines the streets with kind caring people bleeding like hearts
The sunshine locked behind bars and the glory closed behind doors
All are set loose to mind the business of the wicked and crumbling
Children play in the dark day while their smiles sail away into the night
The wilting flowers become grey with the angry storms and tempers
Blind eyes see the fog of moist tears, gathering strength to flood fears
Power rises with a soft caressing touch in the blistered hearts of men
Drained bottles lie broken throughout the mind of liquid dreams
The stars are swollen with wishes and the seeds are planted with death
White blank faces wait to be painted with artful color and design
A baby is born in the midst of a dark and lonely world, smiling with joy.
