Conflict

Conflicted The door is bolted still slightly ajar Standing so close I see you from afar Beacons shine out I stand in the dark Dawn chorus erupts where is the lark We need him this day bring us a spark. Church bells peel but fall on deaf ears We rub the lantern no genie appears Heavens burst open the ground is still dry Promised the truth then fed me more lies We all did our best but nobody tries You call out my name I can’t hear you shout It’s dead of the night the sun still shines out Clocks spin forward times in reverse You say you’re a winner but need to be rehearse Go on unchecked but still you coerce.
