FROM DAY ONE

© RYAN GUILEY

Gone, six years evaporated,

Never will they come back,

As, I’ll we do is keep waiting,

As they destroy lives with attacks.

No security or law will justify,

Gone, the deck was stacked,

But we made it through, why?

Since, I stated the true facts.

That the corruption exists,

Deliberate actions they caused,

Gone, is all the days we missed,

Since, I knew prior of the flaws.

Rebuild, they will tell you,

It will get better someday,

But intentionally they knew,

It is only our lives that paid.

We will look back and wonder,

11 years, of wasted resources,

As their teams will go under,

And another team awaits the forces.

Do they care for your concern?

Gone, so many memories taken,

When are people ever going to learn?

That a paycheque is not worth making.

But, what you leave behind,

Or conquer your true desires,

Or search for a love to find,

That will burn your ambition and fire.

Who are you serving? Only yourself,

Is it for your morals or beliefs?

As, she is the one, who is my wealth,

Gone, the days of yesterday underneath.

How do I explain to my children?

Gone, are their childhood memories,

Not witnessing, as oldest is turning ten,

As, I will just get a listed summary.

Gone, stolen, and taken away,

As others just move on,

As, “I’m sorry” is not to say,

Since, from day one they were wrong.
