I TRIED TO RAISE MY VOICE

I TRIED TO RAISE MY VOICE
I tried to raise my voice at dawn
like Leonard Cohen and that ancient song
I tried and failed a hundred times.
My looks are gone and my words are wrong
Love is sweet but its for the young
I don't need your faith, I don't want a sign.
Soren was my favourite saint
He stood in the darkness for those who wait
To free themselves from their frozen aches.
The bombs above, their kids below
They prayed for a reason, some real cause
As drones fly free and bodies explode.
Kings collude, their subjects brawl,
Towers rise, towers fall,
Minstrels sing and babies cry.
