Poetic observations

The world is on fire, like you didn't know
Forgiveness has transpired, its time to go
And for all our bitterness and greed
Nothing can save us in our time of need

The world is on fire, its been that way for a time
Look to whatever happiness while its still left to find
For all the arrogance, and all the posturing
Doesn't give meaning in time of catastrophe

The world is on fire, but that doesn't mean the end
We can be immortal and posthumously transcend
For all the axes and bombs we blow
The roots go deeper than we seem to know

The world is on fire, close your eyes now
And I will see you again

Welcome to my gray world
No true light, night or day
Nothing is to be distinguished or told
And there is no hell to pay

Welcome to this life of gray
Lost in a non intoxicating haze
Its all the same to what its worth
Sad fact we get less than what we deserve

Paying exorbitant and high fees
For our lack of belief
Seems what is best for all
Caries the very highest toll

Welcome to this life of gray

So many people with half open ears
Wanting to be told but they don't want to hear
In quiet hours weeping for their defeats
But never having the fortitude to stand on their feet

So many people bewildered and dismayed
Wishing their problems would all just go away
Crying at god and pissing in the wind
Inventing truths just so they can fit in

Tired wills and apathetic avenues
Life is hard but what are going to do?
Piss and moan and stomp your feet
Make demons and gremlins of people on the street

Wasting away in shallow pools of regret
Ask your doctor if its right for you just so you can forget
So many people living in fear
But will never change if if the chance is near
