Recognition

It came down the wire, it came down the line Rattled my body, settled in my spine The power was sudden, came like a flash Burned me all over, invisible rash My mind wandered to heaven, it went What was this force, from a god was it sent Many months after, I woke from my rest Pains in my body, my bones, in my chest I thought long about the matter of fact A certain time and place to be exact Am I the one to have this put upon Now that all of my family have gone Will I take charge and find a brave new way So I may live at the end of the day
