Blind Behind and Unkind
BLIND, BEHIND AND UNKIND
Don’t tell me about Hell because I’ve been there and back
Don’t tell me about Heaven because I’ll never see it’s gates
Don’t tell me something is white when I know it’s black
And things won’t change until my misery abates
When this world changes it’s wicked ways
When the universe decides to change its mind
When everything I see are in shades of gray
Until then I’d rather be blind
Blind to the b*stards who do unspeakable things
Blind to the ones who don’t give a damn
Blind to what corruption and that which power brings
And government agencies are no longer a sham
I think about my grandson and pray for his tomorrow
I think about the world I’ll leave behind
I think about how he’ll wrestle with sorrow
And what kind of peacefulness will be left for him to find
So please don’t waste your time telling me Heaven awaits
To me that’s b*****t, a story, a tale told by lies
Don’t speak to me of angels because it’s now far too late
So I’ll just sit somewhere and await for the righteous ones to arise
