Words of Fear

Words of Fear

By Lord Kristoffer Martin

Sometimes the world is cruel

Filled with regret hatred and fools

Pain rips at our heads and hearts

While words of fear paint our parts.

We wound, we strike, fake the fight

As others run and hide

We’re callous and cold, a faceless plight

As others run and hide

Sometimes the world is cruel

Hidden in dark closets of rule

With beliefs run amuck we feel so stuck

While words of fear paint our luck

We chase, we cry, devils devils alight

As others run and hide

We’re ruinous and retarded, chaffing our rights

As others run and hide.

Sometimes the world is cruel

When mothers cry through the night

For their babies strung up so tight

While words of fear paint our blight

We sneer, we jeer, our faith hung up to dry

As others run and hide

We dream and dare, hoping one day to fly

As others run and hide

Sometimes the world is cruel

Our friends and family disappear

We are alone, only hope to spare

While words of fear paint our sight

We bully, we enslave, the deranged

As others run and hide

We’re blind to the sight of innocents

As others run and hide

Sometimes the world is cruel

When we are to blame

For not changing the game

While words of fear corrupt what’s right.
