It still goes on

A word, a sentence, a phrase that supplies

The holding of hope that sadness defies

The sounds imagined, fabrications and lies

For no-one can hear it, they all hate, despise

The hoping and wanting for nothing to gain

But sadness and sorrow, the hurting and pain

The sense doesn't matter, the voices will do

The anger and hatred only for you

Arguing for sake of speaking kindly aloud

All time's been spent, and all quarrels been rowed

Yet still they fight on with nothing to reap

Oh why can't they stop this and just let me sleep?
