Rise

By RiVeN

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Awoken from a century's slumber The toils of our past Along with it's demons Have awoken And now they're here to have a blast Seemed so long ago they dragged me down I became a victim of my own devils And they kicked me onto the wrong side of town And beat me to a pulp Physically beat mentally dead How can a generation that is so alive Be so dead One that is full of life and potential Yet everything it does seems consequential In time it will rise And the toils and demons from the past Will return to the roots And we will look to the skies A hot fiery wind blowing across my feet Taunting me with words of defeat Yet in time I shall rise And bring society's demiseI'm back Written February 10th, 2002 © on Feb 09 2002 05:58 PM PST   18 • 0 • 12
