In search of order
“It's like I've passively seen everything but haven't been anyone “
Playing with words has always been fun
Pages on top of pages, scribbled
Coherency is impossible to find
Every word is a wild cloud swaying in Pacific tides
They might be companions with the moon if they let the dark side slide
But when you live far from the sea for too long
in a jungle of red traffic lights and honking cars
Where every sunset and sunrise is just a cycle and the sidewalk is too small
It comes a time when you can only imagine the big red bridge drowning under tide’s grand jete
Because that might wash the blood away
I saw people dying for their lives
Tied together, swaying on streets
Tires on fire and screams louder than the gun
It was a fall afternoon after school
It was a summer evening when I wasn't even 4 feet tall
It has been everyday ever since
Survivors hanged one by one
Autumn leaves dancing in the wind
Every time i seeked i order i was faced with repetition of chaos
If I stop the sun from rising will it all be over?
Will my words accept the moon's company?
Will the flood wash all the blood away?
