Nothing - Arc NothingNothing - Arc by ~arc7
A child is born
Into a harsh world.
Another's life is taken
Before he takes his first breath.
One is born fatherless
And her mother abandons her.
The other will never learn to smile
His chance was stolen.
She's born addicted to crack
And infected with HIV.
He was a mistake they say
A minor inconvenience.
She's born without love
Into a world of hate.
But he'll never get to see what she sees
Never get to experience the simplest of joys.
She's cast into the ghetto
Surviving on welfare.
They say she won't make it to ten
Before the abyss of death swallows her soul.
Raped when she's seven
Living on the street at
Recollections Recollections on the World After Twenty Years of LifeRecollections by ~arc7
Two decades pass
What will I tell my children?
An old world sets
And a new arises
Two stars have fallen
A dozen gems marred
A wall came crashing down
As gold gushed from the ground
So many celebrations
So many funerals
Stories of religious bloodshed
And children armed with guns
A tale of two towers
And the dirge we sing for them
Twenty years of war
Twenty years of peace
Two decades have passed
What will I tell my children?
Lady Luck - Unto You I Pray Lady Luck, Unto You I PrayLady Luck - Unto You I Pray by ~arc7
Lady Luck, unto you I pray
Swing the dice for me
Bring me favor
Bring me love
Lady Luck, unto you I pray
Win the gambit for me
Bring me smiles
Bring my prosperity
Lady Luck, unto you I pray
Shine your light for me
Bring me fortune
Bring me fame
Lady Luck, unto you I pray
Ruin it all for me
Bring me shame
Bring me humanity
