The Shadows of Today, Tomorrow and Never

Voices rise through the air
Marking the next battle
For many this is nothing new
Simple lies fly like a bull in a saddle

Lost forever is the truth
The small voice that marks the facts
Shattered into tiny pieces askew
By these people's very acts

Deadly rumors, murderous gossip
Ruin the weak fearing hearts
Teasing till tears flood out endlessly
And their body's bare new marks

Tonight the lives of many the same
Shall leave this world less intact
Death has come to claim its reward
'Tis a very saddening fact

Goodbyes are said unknown to the 'morrow
Many spoken for the last
Soon to be much very much sorrow
Leaving everyone only the past
