A cold october rain is falling tonight br all is quiet except for the cars passing br in the blur of darkness br no memories haunt me this evening br just that same old numbness br within my black heart br frozen in time like a watch br that was carelessly dropped br yet the world moves on br things are born, people live br people die, someone cries from br pain and hunger, some are happy br others are desperate br rulers are cruel, some benevolent br religions try to explain the impossible br those that know only smile br and the rain still falls br with its soothing sound that br only a few really appreciate.
