We dim our lights
And close our eyes
We hope for evils
Pure demise
We shake our hands
And sandals clean
For dust is dust
And words aren’t seen
And much less heard
In this time and place
We move about
Don’t show our face
But let the time
Reverberate
So we can spread
That which aches
Maybe its time
To hit the brakes…
We have made
Too many mistakes
Too many mistakes
To own up to now
Let’s let it go
Release the wow
Factor in
Our words this time
The way we speak
The way I rhyme
And listen to
That beat up tongue
That runs no more
For all its wrung
That beat up tongue
And all it’s stung
