Silent Warning

Silent Warning

a perched cat on the basement parchment
 time has allowed silence to ensue
 we seek for justice to stake are claim
 while deep inside we are going insane
 lest I refrain a notion of conquest
 all of life is simply a test may I digress
 we each have a gift but some let it go
 seek a higher power in the way you should go
 yet we move to slow one step at a time
 we climb the barbed wire of success
 but to get to what the world outside make me want to throw up
 but just as you have thought about giving up
 silent warning come through
 have we bitten off more then we could chew
 if we make are beds in hell I goty a good story to tell
 a street walker works her beat in hopes to get a treat
 she falls on some hard times no money to pay for any lines
 then one day she wants to give it all up
 a minister comes to her aid
 offering her free salvation cause she has one foot in the grave
 so she says yes to Jesus & breaks the bonds to free us
 gives up her life of sin to begin over again
 silent warning takes you to places with traces that you'll never know
 many today hide behind a shell getting ready for there place in hell
 we must give it all up to gain it all
 don't look back when your hands on the plough
