Derelict Herds

Derelict Herds

Someone died for looking too far

While I was asleep in my house

A child was killed, I heard it from a friend

A war raged in a distant land

Cost me to linger on a piece of text

Someone died

Not here, never here

There was a fever

There is a failure

Are you a believer?

That someone lied to you

You hold it closer to your chest

There was a meaning for this test

But you forgot and it's gone now

You were controlled somehow

There was a mean time

An invitation of sorts

I remember life

I, I was sick with sorrow

I'd fallen asleep

And dreamt of my sins here

It was your turn

Adamant smile and said, "Thank you"

There was a sickness right in the family

While I shuddered in the cold

Woman hanged for her sins while I craved mine

An old man drowned in this life herd

As I made amends with my fathers

Someone died

Not here, never here
