Don't Forget

There is no pleasure for the penitent

No savior for the just

A battered bag of bones

Lies beaten, bleeding and bruised

In shouting at the wicked

We oftimes forget the compassionate

Cooler heads cannot prevail

When ardent passion rules

Power

Power

Keep calm and steady heads

Lest madness grow in our veins

For the world is free of reason

It infects the very soul

A swelling resonance erupts

It pounds and drums in time

Encroaching on everything

Our reason will set all free

They come now to topple us

With raised and steady arms

As we fall, together

Reason has swept the land

The Words

So many ways to say

One simple little thing

Do we fear the words themselves?

Is it the intimacy?

Or do we not really mean it

When we use other phrases?

We’ve become so close,

Our world so small

But we’re miles apart in our heads,

In our hearts

When we can communicate so well

Translate a thousand tongues

Why is it so hard

To say three little words?

No matter the language

We must learn

We must try
