A hole in the wall

A hole in the wall   1/22/2015

It is true

That a lot can happen

Just before the end

Especially when its predetermined

And the fix is always in. 

It took me a long time to know

That I, was the broken bird

Helped along in the sky

By others greater and stronger.

The blows come

Hard and heavy

Crushing our spirit

Like a weight around the neck.  

But though we be

Sick and gray

A part of us remains

Inwardly strong.  

I dug a hole in the wall

And made my escape

Tunneling out under

Guilt and regret. 

My wings are healed

And now I can fly

As I ride the current

Swift, sure, and high.

Reality matters more

And the truth most of all

One in the same

And true every day. 

That is what

We should lean on

Just as good today

As it ever was.  

 

So let them spin the cylinder

And play chicken with God

Gambling with eternity

Proud, dead, and dumb

Let the liars lie

And hate in their hearts

Past, present, and future

Until the very end.  

They have crossed the Charles River

And now comes the call

Wake up

And get ready

You, me, and all.
