The Plight Of Man
Skyler Drevan
1.
A man can take a stand, but
He is often battered and condemned;
A victim of his own hand
How often you hear a story, a tale
Of a man that was brutalized;
But the punishment was unto him,
To the gods that was no surprise
2.
The manmade cell built of concrete and steal;
Could not withhold the pain;
Of the man who could not heal
The trials of yesteryear were burned throughout history
The transcripts of the past has been a mockery
Politics and pain, fear and resentment
Fall into a place of anger and judgment
3.
There are bodies of the bruised;
And there are the bodies of the wicked
There are the tales of the troubles;
And repulsive stories that have already been written
Far too many lives have been lost here;
Far too many days have been lived in fear
But to walk a day in those shoes
It�ll be my fate to forever sing the blues
4.
To walk alone and think of ones destiny
You�ll find what a mess that life can be
The gold that glitters;
Doesn�t beckon for you
For there is no statement that is more true
As long as we lay in this abyss
Our dreaded existence, no one will miss
5.
So we let time takes its course
We live in fear and famine;
We only dine on tears remorse
My bones are brittle and cold;
The side effects of rotting concrete
I�ll wait until I expire
My duty is now complete
