Promised Land

There is a promised land but I don’t know where it exists

Is it in the future or the past we lost?

Was it taken away from the clutches of hope by the jaws of fascists?

Was it ruined by the wail of the crying mothers whose sons won’t return home?

Fighting a war that was never ours to fight?

Fighting for a demon that was never supposed to rule?

There is a promised land that is like god

It does not exist and is a wish of the suffering

A last ditch effort to cling on to a belief that is a myth.

There is a promise land; that has to be brought by us.

There is a promised land that is inside us.

There is a promised land that we have set out to find.

There is a promised land; just beyond the sunshine.
