Checkered Past by Nobody: 5:36pm On Nov 17, 2014 |
How invaluable the value of a valuable is The peak of the night is the source of the morning's gloat Ornamental beauties have failed to buy peace The shame of yesterday's evil is tomorrow's coat Who payed the price for the joy we seek so dearly The fiery dark cloud is lined by worthless silver Ravishing in the depth of curses as we write our sorrow dairy We are drained in the tomorrow we hope to deliver Oh the people fear the writer has given us a song of sorrow Fear not oh ye pure and rejoice in your deeds oh ye learned This song is to him whose past is his greatest foe Who will pay for the joy they so coveted Time and seasons pass and we know we are not pure Over and again we revel in thundering mistakes The result of our actions make our rest unsure The thought of another day only heightens the stakes So who am I mortal to rule you out of the curse Save salvation saves you from these thorns Till then and after this song should be in your purse Languish in darkness oh lost till you see the morn Who has payed the price for the joy you seek so dearly? I ask again. Elvis Osho. |
