I’ve got tombstones in my eyes <br />My tears they feel like gravel <br />I see death upon the streets <br />Of every road I travel <br />I see mothers torn with grief <br />Fathers numb with pain <br />Children killing children <br />And they swear they're not to blame.. <br /> <br />I see blood inside of news print <br />Blood on TV screens <br />Hearts all lost in anger <br />Killers in their teens, <br />The lonely Good Samaritan <br />You don’t hear of anymore <br />He’s been replaced with banknotes <br />But everybody’s poor <br /> <br />I’ve got tombstones in my eyes <br />Tears burn my hollow jowls <br />The band plays out of tune <br />The conscience how it howls, <br />The prisons overflowing <br />Children line the halls <br />The nights are filled with terror <br />When the undertaker calls. <br /> <br />I’ve got tombstones in my eyes <br />The tears fall in vain <br />The coffins fill up daily <br />They bear unending pain <br />Love has closed its eyes <br />Speech has turned to greed, <br />The music's tuned to horror <br />It makes the heart now bleed. <br /> <br />I've got tombstones in my eyes <br />Tears now they plead <br />To ask the one and only, <br /> Lord please tell us what we need.<br /><br />Wojja Fink<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tombstone-in-my-eye/
