Our Casted Wings Poem by Mikell Gentry

There's nowhere to turn anymore, but I'm not fighting back, I can't
Spread my curse through a disease filled crowd, to return something they lack
They can't see with their cross-hairs aimed at the sky, they wish to fly, why
No point in trying to redefine the trine when it's clearly written down on the black line
Saw myself inside another man, broke down, trying to cry
Can't act on the rules that you don't yet understand, just have to try to live the lie
See the picture just for what it's worth, just don't try to look beyond the glass
Aim straight don't be afraid to express the hurt, remember but don't live in the past
Unwrap the present, leave it on a piston
Let it dry out just like the average day citizen
Accept your past, all you have to do is listen
Or else you'll dry out just like the average day citizen
Look we're all blind and take kindly to dicipline
But we can't sit and stay, just like the average day citizen
Drop the guns, hold hands, accept the love we're all givin
And maybe, just maybe, we'll have an acceptable way of living
I can't see myself anymore
I cant see what was there before
You took me away
Gave me a place to stay
Told me just what to say
Re-assured me it was okay
I told you my side
At least I tried
You thought I lied
You gave me cyanide
I made your Heaven look like Hell
You took my pride, soaked it with guilt
I saw your crime, you saw my will
I did my time, you took your pill
Through rust and lime, for years and still
You say your fine, too numb to feel
Too bright to fight, too young to kill
I read your sign, you left me alone

your ash turns to gold, I'll see you in Hell
