Anthology - Is There a Sunrise?

In March we asked for entries to a charity anthology where the theme was STOLEN. Kneel Downe's Stolen Indie Anthology will be published on 20th May but we wanted to share some of the entries here on the website too. This is Is There a Sunrise by Steve Taylor-Bryant...

As delicate as life is
It seems only the strong survive
The weak crumble
As the pressure is left alive
Some look to the heavens
Others are stuck in the tar
I'm caught in the middle
Wondering if there's a sunrise on Mars

The inane spout their evil
The religious their lore
I'm not sure that I
Can take it anymore
We confront the gift horse
It's just who we are
Is there a sunrise on Mars?

We take the intellectual property
Without knowing what that means
Our life's plan
Is coming apart at the seams
We bully the new breed
It's just who we are
Is there a sunrise on Mars?

The key to our times
Is how we live our lives
Stealing hope
As we sharpen our knives
Feeding on the fear
It's just who we are
Is there a sunrise on Mars?
