When All Laughter Has Faded

The lingering taste of life Suffocated by the deafening silence That envelops the street of life Neither sweet nor sour A mixture of fear and hopelessness An absence of human emotion Holds my heart in a tight grip I have nothing else to do But to pray for humanity Let it be known That the gates of mercy are ever open And our prayers will be answered Our hope will be restored All fear will be wiped away And humanity shall rise again It's not a game It is the path of light Re-calibrating our hearts Renewing our spirits It might seem painful But it's for our own sake When all laughter has faded We will know the truth ©
