What World?

Life's experiences doesn't always bring enlightenment.

A world as cold as ice and steel,
where no one cares to love or feel.

A world where love is black as death;
falsified faith in every breath.

A world so old of painted gold,
counterfeit hopes are all we hold.

A world of beliefs passed away,
faded to a place tainted gray.

A world of pain and crying rain;
a hypocrite's joy that's lost in shame.

Where is this world of love divine
that haunts the dreams within my mind?
