Do I fight for truth
Or do I surrender to you
Do I accept or reject the understanding
That everyone has a limit of defence
A ring pass not that will
Cause the burning up
Of what stands in the way
Of a necessary decay
That leads to growth
Do I fight for the truth
I see and know
Even if it means the knife comes out
And both of us bleed
Will I come to regret the day
I chose to remove it from its sheath?
Or do I just accept
Its not my task
To bring the light
Only to suffer being put to death
When forces around me conspire
To say no
To the awakening fire
Of Prometheus
It may pay me to remember well
Where he ended up
Chained to a rock
On the highest hill top
As eagles feasted on his liver
While his soul bled
Oh Deb, I’ve not to many comments left in my soul tonight…. I’ll send you this song… because it’s the one I’m playing….
I went to my friend today, the one who lost her son 7 days ago…. we hugged, we cried, we chatted, … I’m glad I made the trip to go and see her…… xxxx πππ
