MOONLIGHT IS TRYING TO SURVIVE

YOU WILL NEVER PREVAIL

Why won't they comprehend what I'm feeling?

I hear cries coming from the fields

they sound like they are ill-

this is for real.

I see them burning books

like it is a performed art

while given dirty looks

slashing paintings that once touched someone's heart.

In the background of the screams

I hear poetic walking about

giving a poetic shout...

Screaming for crying out loud

what is wrong with the people in this town?

that is when everyone stood around.

Then the poet said;

Oh, take this kiss I give upon the brow

and give love back to the crowed

and don't be so proud-

you point your fingers at the poor

and burn their books

because want them to silent

and keep them from learning what is holy.

Don't you know, God is the one in control?

don't you hear the sound

of this little old town?

no matter what you do

they will still learn -

because He is the one who teaches

He is the one you hear crying out in the fields

why you are making the town ill,

but I say this-you will never prevail

Because God is REAL

and He will heal.
