And was going well

But i believe we can change the world of err
Our father's days had gone
It's our time to change the evil air

It goes up, up and up
It cries, cries and cries
And never beg for food cup

today, I saw him rolling multiple weeds
because his birth place is a smouldering hell
where people pray not to see another day

Her words then, weren't real
Her smiles then, were all fake

MOTHER
my life is full of happiness without an iota of joy
my world is full of sorrow without sadness
My life is like a flood running around, strolling with erosion

I'm so sorry,
I'm sorry for the love I wasted
I'm sorry because I will be forever wanted

I've come to choose the Faith
We're here to take the road among the roads
You will either come with me or leave

Among the living, you may look odd
Look up, all your answers are there
You will smile even without a flair

Stories of those of ages
Inside the page, there are many histories
Histories that portrays mysteries

I want to retire being a mediator
I will tell them to be kind

Act Of War
The land and it's wishes
They dwelled in riches
They continued to dwell
And was going well
They boasted to acquire more
Without afraid of war
They always curious about something
Whereas there was nothing
They continued on their way
But there was a day
A war broke out
The land refused to work out
The war continue from year to year
With no hope of heir
Dwindled in their wishes
Shortened in their riches
The life of land glutton
It's always rotten
They withdrew from the war
They cease to have more
They asked the muse
In whom the were fused
The outcome of the war
Muse said nothing more
I volunteered to be a remedy
But the land was not yet ready
The land said I look dryer
In my view, they look older.
'It is good to be a coward in hell than to be a coward in life'
'If people's thought are visible, there is going to be a least death in life'
' The best is in us, the only problem is that we don't normally cherish is ours '
' Some words must be left unspoken'
Great job
