I Don't Wear The Dead

by Sole   Jan 15, 2008


It took this long to realise
There should be no compromise
Live through governmental lies
In this world, which I despise

This is some religious sin
A battle we may never win
How can you be happy when
Living in anothers skin?

Slaughter, murder, hate and pain
Only petty cash to gain
You're not a businessman, you're an assassin
I don't wear the dead so screw fashion

That coat doesn't look good on
You, it suits what it came from
Don't tell me this protest doesn't belong
You're wearing another and that's what's wrong

I'm here for good, I'm not just passing
I don't care, I'll keep harassing
Until you stop the bloody assassin
I don't wear the dead, so screw fashion

    Five stars. I get another meaning as well when you talked about "wearing another skin", today I see and hear alot of intelligent young boys in my country dying from gang wars and it is sad because they like being seen as a gangster yet don't open their eyes to the reality that the life they wish to emulate don't portray their true identity. They only emulate what they hear in the media and see around them.

    Wow, Ok this is the best of yours I have read due to the emotions and meanings portrayed behind it.

    That coat doesn't look good on
    You, it suits what it came from
    Don't tell me this protest doesn't belong
    You're wearing another and that's what's wrong

    Them lines, Fantastic. I can't express how much I loved the truthful message portrayed within this. Your bitter saddened words grasped onto my heart and squeezed it tight allowing me to feel so much pain and hurt. A breath taking poem which is being added to my favorite poems. Well done. This is by far one of the best pieces I have read today. ~Mel

    I hate it when people wear death on their souls, really seems bad for karma. All those poor defenseless animals in the warehouses of pain and death. Makes me sick.

    Keep sharing your thoughts with the world, it feels better.
