Cuts Me Cold

Cuts Me Cold


Sometimes on your house front porch or your backyard lawn/
One can just stare at the stars forlorn/
Reminiscing memories of eternity/
Inducing drug-like signs of serenity/
Right now here was one of those memoirs I kept/
In the back of my very mind it slept/
For when it raised slumber I reduced my years/
Through countless numbers of like-minded me/
None but me wishing to be free/
Trapped by society from birth no time to rehearse/
This particular memory still haunting one/


For it was crazy it was insane/
Society's problem who's to blame/
Free worlds could look with disdain/
It just cuts me cold with men so bold/
The country sold to those never to release their hold/


For when I was young I lived a memorable childhood/
Like others I went to their local school/
But then again I would refrain from giving names/
When I was ten it happened our teacher read us that story/
The novel of another teacher who left the school/
For an urgent matter he would never come back/
A bombshell dropped like an emotional attack/
One tear dropped two tears three/
So everyone was crying like the teacher was dying/
I could not understand what happened/
It wasn't that I was only ten/
A boy my age too young to understand/
But the very country I had lived in/
Still felt some form of political shakedown/
It wasn't the children it wasn't the system/
Blame all those up there that tried to break 'em/
Only one didn't cry yours truly a teacher left/
So what like that even mattered/
My breathren affected evil detected/
Their innocence must be protected/


For it was crazy it was insane/
Society's problem who's to blame/
Free worlds could look with disdain/
It just cuts me cold with men so bold/
The country sold to those never to release their hold/


Only now do I know why it happened so many years ago/
Innocence brought up on the pretense of a better world/
It just cuts me cold the realisation my enlightenment/
This in my blood my actions my culture/
My values my race my conscience/
Reforms did nothing they broke everything/
It used to amuse me why kids cried over trival things/
Now I understand they weren't the weaklings/
Education craving for power threatening our futures every hour/
Looking at the stars I close my eyes/
Nothing could be done to solve this country's demise/
Sit back and watch the earth crumble/
Before the new and the old form the new ensemble/


For it was crazy it was insane/
Society's problem who's to blame/
Free worlds could look with disdain/
It just cuts me cold with men so bold/
The country sold to those never to release their hold/
