Samaritans

Joanna Davis How much are you… willing to give? Lay down your life so they may live. In this cold world when passions flame burns so bight beneath your name. I still believe in what your said… that time will come in days ahead when love and hope will rule the day Hate is forced to run away. I look for your face, you hold my hand Give me the grace to understand Tell me now, what I should do? Strength of will to see it through Justice cowers, forced to hide Too afraid to step outside Could you stand firm of foot and say I'll not let fear get in my way? When a cold white world freezes the truth Stillborn’s the child and stunts the youth? Justice is blind, for if she saw, She’d cry her eyes till they were raw. I know you not; you know me less With broken bone do I confess Sightless eyes feel the pain, of ruptured heats and punctured vain. Sole less; heatless, skeletal, carcass. Statue standing, arms erect Belches out the crown’s reject. Justice tight shuts her sight from view With all that blood...well wouldn’t you?
