[hometext] => I wrote this after reading a poem by a kid who was constantly made fun of and thought about killing his classmates but then decided against it. Only I made it much more morbid to make a point.
[bodytext] => the woods are alive with wondering this young boy lies suffering a thousand loosed arrows they comfort him a decision made to avenge him inside the woods the eyes are watching him as he speaks of his rage, they plead to him but this young boy has cried too many tears now he'll have his vengeance for his lost childhood years heartless ares stand away there's no justice when he prays just society enraged at the price that they must pay to the wooden soldier the streets are streams of silence never been touched by violence – or so they say but can not words be cause for dread for your words the streets are rivers of red heartless ares stand away there's no justice when he prays just society enraged by the price he made them pay heartless teacher teach the child just before he dies that his beauty lies estranged because he took this boy's away the wooden soldier the words of time are rushing by in a mind long sanctified there's no fear of being sent to die he's been there all his life -instrumental- the woods are alive with wondering over the grave of a boy whose suffering – is over he took his pain to the motherland that sinned against him they set him to flames – again heartless ares stand away there's no truth left when you pray give the child a safe trip home he's always ever been alone heartless ares take the fall for the need to crush the small and watch as this young child is born forlorn have mercy on us all © 2003 Chrystine Stylle [comments] => 1 [counter] => 220 [topic] => 34 [informant] => stylle [notes] => [ihome] => 1 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
