the last gift

[empallin]

let me climb your crumbling concrete walls
let me climb your rusting metal gates
i want you to show me what you can
about the fairness of life
about hearts broken by broken hearts
about the evils of man and his wars
let me step on your freshly turned dirt
let me step on you discard plastic flowers
i want you to show me what you can
about the fairness on man
about the last breaths of lovers
about the heroes on man and his wars
let me walk your fine marble stars
let me walk you eloquent hallways
i want you to show me what you can
about the fairness we should all learn
about the love we should all cherish
about the real wars men fight in their hearts
