Life Unanswered

Life Unanswered

The giant wheel of time turns slow
Years lost as our children grow
Everyone headed for the tunnel's light
Twenty more soldiers march off to fight

Silent voices speak so defensively
The introvert living life pensively
Frightening scenes never ending
The stubborn will of men unbending

A man all alone at the end of his life
The indiscretions of a husband or a wife
Ice cold chills of a dark nightmare
A lonely man and the sadness he'll bear.

Hate the cancer that spreads so fast
We walk through life wearing a mask
Blind to all that happens around us
It's a long ride home on a lonely bus

Hitchhikers' sign says " L.A. or bust"
A preacher ends with, "Dust to Dust"
In the end it's not worth the cryin
All of us standing in line and dyin
