The Painful Truth Of Night

So cold is the world as it spins on its axis
Paying no mind to the people that practice
A life that they struggle and strive to survive
Living each day, as they pretend they're alive

They breathe in the pollutants, the foulest of air
Exhaling their time, their amount, their share
Allotted to them for their span on this planet
Every glorious moment taken for granted

So many do see, but so few can hear
How the wind blows us further, ever so near
To the moment in time, when our lives must turn
Changing our heartbeats and leaving us burned

For as much as we dream of a life that is fair
Others do dream and take not a care
With those that surround and impact their lives
They live in their moments, mere shadows that survive

Blizzards of words and snowstorms of hate
Each seeking what they want, regardless of fate
Pry them aside, they take what they want
Not giving a care for those that they haunt

The planet is full, of those that don't live
Even fuller still of those that can't give
What each heart needs, its beyond their sight
Welcome to the Painful Truth of Night
