where character counts and integrity is the keystone

I, Wrote

this land/life

In this land of confusion,
There is an illusion ‑
That’ll drive you insane;
Yet, it’s simple & plain.

It’s made up of lasers,
photons, and phasers;
It’s a laser illusion
and it made an intrusion.

It’s wreaked havoc to you;
I saw you die ‑
a tear in your eye ‑
I knew ‑ I’d miss you.

Rain falling down
eroding this town.
Clouding up my view ‑
There’s no interlude.

This laser illusion
is a raging intrusion ‑
It’s wreaking havoc &
we have not a maverick ‑ to fight.

We could be submissive & give up hope;
but, ONLY a fool would.
We’re gonna fight, live, & survive ‑
Conquer all and live our lives.
