I Will Not Cry For You (Free verse) by seanlb1
black is all
all is black
darkness falls
falls darkness
kills all this
this all kills
life is nothing
nothing is life
running from death
death from running
far away go
go away far
purity in white
white in purity
where has it gone?
this innocent game
look what's been done
that's the price of fame
black is the sun
it's still the same
we'll still have fun
without any shame
i wish you wouldn't go
i wish that i could know
you've brought a new low
to life's game show
a bird lands on the sill
a man now shoots to kill
he will fire at his will
death to a worker of the mill
mine eyes have seen glory of the coming of the hoard
they are called american and will be forever bored
buying and selling their guitars that play the same old chord
their truth cannot be found
death is not to be feared
life is not to be feared
petty theft is not to be feared
angels will impale themselves on streetlights and all hope will be
restored
