Promises, bound us
In thread of words,
Give hope a new
In this hopeless world,
Such a mundane word
Hold power so high,
To the drowning lives
A Promise to rise...
Nothing escape
Darkhole of greed,
Promise used
As a tool of need,
Shackle hearts
Will immured in cage,
Peace of mind
Alter in blind rage...
Relief of heart
Like velvet sheet,
Some promises bring
Enormous grief,
Forced to hold
Right to choose,
Those poisonous pledge
Put soul on noose...
Enchanted enough
This "promise" word,
Sooth despair mind
Like calming draught,
Though many try
To keep it encaged,
But light of life
Keep promises arranged.
