Dissension
When tangled hope yields to the sadness,
That sweeps like madness in a perigee tide
My soul silently abandons redress
Steady sun sings struggles of my weakness
Its rays chide that the light cannot abide
When tangled hope yields to the sadness
Thick sorrow of humanity manifests
Releasing its turmoil within drawn sighs
My soul silently abandons redress
Comfort comes through forgetfulness, unless
The gnawing fear refuses to subside
When tangled hope yields to the sadness
Because the darkness remains unaddressed
I am forced daily to cry and abide,
My soul silently abandons redress
Yet I cannot contain the emptiness
And only God knows how hard I’ve tried
When tangled hope yields to the sadness
My soul silently abandons redress
