Quandry

Can I let go of this struggle to try to help you

Fighting against forces that don’t believe us

Will I be brave enough to let you drop

Watch as you walk into that Underworld place

Of possible death

The full cups of our love

Falling over

Draining tears in to parched ground

My heart beats so strongly in my chest

There is fear here

And I surrender my pride to ask once again

Of the ones who control everything

Will you please help us?

But if they won’t

How will I bear this sadness

That nothing I did could free you

You tell me I am not to blame

And I know this is true

Youi say not to worry about you any more

But my love I love you so I worry

Or more so I care

And I cry I just cry

I feel so terribly powerless and small

Sometimes the world is so dark

This world you said you just want to protect

The vulnerable from

But my love

Who is protecting you?

And isn’t it strange

That as you lay down your life for others

No one will help

Due to fear of losing a pittance of what they own

Or control

How has it come to this in a world

Where there are enough resources for everyone

If only we shared

And truly opened our hearts

In trust and love?

How can it be this way

With fear always triumphing

Over love?
