Hard Times

The beating drums grow louder
While the sound of the gentle stream is no more
Cast into a strange place
No space for laughter
No room for loose shoulders

Louder they beat
In my head
Louder are the beating drums

Hard times are making me crazy
Hard times pound away at me

When will it get better?
When will the beat drop?

This isn't all life is, right?
Where is the stream?
