Soul

Exchange

I was inspired by:
ConsPotatoes

Before every moment in history
Someone else's story
Was deleted.
Every moment
A baby is born.
Every moment
Someone's heart is torn.
We say every second someone dies.
We snap our fingers,
Knowing someone's heart just stopped.
But what you might not think,
Is someone's hope just popped.
Now the joy is on the outside.
For every mourner,
There is a new light.
For every dark night,
someone is struggling to do right.
All the lies
Make up for with eyes.
For witnesses
For prophets
For fortune
For a baby's curly ringlets.
For finger tips
And decayed bones.
For dead inside kids,
For energetic robots.
From what we are and
what the medicine does...
Every moment is happy.
Every moment is sad.
Don't think about others.
Think about the one you just had.
The scar you just made
It's in your mind
all the time
When in doubt you can look and find,
That rhyme.
That rhythm.
It's time to look in the prisim.
And see what you see.
Every second someone dies
A baby takes it's place.
Life exchanges lives,
Like they don't matter.
People who look at that say life is short.
But they are the madder.
Because what is longer than each
Agonizing second we teach.
Then each lesson we preach.
Life is a sweet as a peach.
If we take time to peal away the skin.
Look before you bite.
Realize you have another life in the night.
You may say your aware of tragedy.
But don't be stupid.
If you sleep.
Your missing half the creep.
Of darkness.
Of sadness.
Of life-ending-madness.
If you sleep
Your missing the sheep.
The little children coming up.
Going to be fine.
If you sleep your just missing the exchange.
And that's okay.
Because life has a pattern.
Don't stay with red-rimed eyes
Shaking holding your lantern.
Just dream.
Life will redeem
what it's stolen.
It's just the exchange.
Don't be alarmed.
Some gonna come.
Some gonna go.
I won't say what it is.
I said it twice, you know.
