Avetis (Free verse) by KilIluminati
I.
Some time ago
In lands so far
There lived a boy
His heart had scar
That heart was young
But soul was old
It had been stung
& had turned cold
He lived alone
His parents dead
Next 2 the cemetery gate
Where they had layed
Guitar he played,
hung out he, and begged 4 bread
There lived an old man, hair gray
2 souls & spirits he would pray
2 wipe his tears
& take his fears
He lived around there 4 years
And still remembered times of slaves
But now cleans the dirt of graves
One night the boy was feeling weak
He hadnt eaten 4 a week
His face so pale he lost his hope
Still with the death he couldnt cope
And with his stained & scarred up pride
He layed his head & slowly died
And in his hand he squeezed a note
With ink on paper he had wrote
About his life and what he's seen
Be4 he died at age nineteen..
II.
"You lived my life, U died've would
With no water & no food
But still so proudly I stood
And God my witness, life is good
Just hear what I have 2 say
& 4 my soul sit down & pray
Next 2 my parents bury me
Please pay respects down on ure knee
In this hard World I was born
& In my heart I had a thorn
Weak like a leaf
My life was brief
Nobody knows why I lived
And everyhting I've done in life
Is written on my grave with knife
To needy money always gave
But my Life noone tried 2 save
On Earth 4ever guns will spray
But I'm 2 heaven on my way
And even through the darkest night
Next day has always things alright..
III.
Of my deep grave I'm not afraid
The life I lived I'd never trade
Cause its the only life i knew
I never stopped my love 4 U
I was alone right from my birth
My soul's been everywhere on Earth
I've been 2 mountains far away
In those lands I wish I could stay
Where Eagles fly so free at night
And where at times U'll C a light
That shines from heaven down below
Where souls of dead perform a show
Where snow falls so cold & white
U feel so free that U lose fright
And theres a lady of my dreams
Her hair shines from sun's bright beams
And where old men just sit & talk
They R so old that they cant walk
Where moon shines light on their front porch
And Greek God's play there with their torch
Where all deceased R well alive
And where the ancient Kings still thrive
That is the place that took my pain
And never gives it back again..
IV.
There also does a place exist
Me and my lover there first kissed
Where I could feel her body heat
& we would play right down the street
Where theres a cold & freezing dove
Can still survive with warmth of love
Where roses grow with no sun
Where no1 knows whats a gun
That's where I lived when I was small
Where through the grass a snake would crawl
And scare away a little mouse
And God was there inside my house
He had explained 2 me what's life
He only said it's death & strife
And his warm tears hit the floor
And he had sensed another War
It was that moment, that I knew
That I must spend my life with U
That we could never be apart
That only U could heal my heart
And as I squeezed U by my chest
I felt so blessed, I was possessed..
V.
So now these R my last words
Soon I will fly above with birds
And this short note explains that I
Had seen life's blessings through my eye
Seen darkest nights & coldest days
Seen people shot with no ways
2 live in peace in this cold life
Which cuts ure heart just like a knife
Where hearts get torn
Where I was born
2 die a slave
So U could mourn
My life which showed U everything
In my next life I'll now a King
And even though we all will die
We'll cry our tears from the sky
And down here they will think its rain
When it will help them grown grain
And it will feed so many souls
Who get 2 grow and see their goals
And in the end yet still one day
They grow old and grow gray
And die & take their dreams 2 graves
And leave behind silent waves
They die like me, so brave & proud
They die alone with no sound
And in their hand they leave a note
That was my life, end of the quote".
