Verses for the Masses

I say a prayer
For the masses
I search for answers
Through the ashes
How many more
To the caskets
Before these verses
Reach the highest

Our post is here
On the coast
Our home is where
We all roam
He might be homeless
But not useless
He might be starving
But he's still surviving

She continues to toil
On the coil
His life in set-backs
He stays strong
Is there an end
to his struggle?
When will she find
An end to her battle?

I talk the talk
I work to walk it
I step and dance it
Without music
We don’t always get
Everything we need
But we must live to be
Whom we must be

This is the 1st half of a song I wrote a few days ago. Sorry, I can't share the 2nd half just yet.

I wrote this for everyone on their way to THERE (wherever that is).

They (whoever your "they" are .. urself, ur own demons, some haterz ... whatever) can halt you, but can't/shdn't stop you.
