The days They wax hot Like the passions Of men They're driven By an unseen force Powerful Yet destructive They've become fevered With an anger An internal turmoil That has now Become rage One that lashes out In hate And in despair Seeking a reprieve But failing to find it Blaming all............. but themselves Looking For an answer But in the wrong places Not seeing the faces Of those they've hurt Or Of those who have fallen Leaving them to rot Leaving them to the decay Of this world The very place Which is so morally Unsound The heat It seems unbearable But We can overcome Setting our sights On the higher ground Where the coolness Can reach us This deluge Of hate Will be driven back Giving way To a harmony That will sooth the very soul Of men The sacrifice of many Will weigh heavy On the few No one wants to listen Until it's to late No one wants to see The days Wax hot Like the passions Of men But they don't have to end In untamed anger
