The Dichotomy Prayer
The dichotomy prayer
I'm free, my will
So stagnant this standstill
designed by He
Of metaphors and mystery
My mountains of molehills
no carrots yet im gold
So it's said , "only one you".
Talent unused -a crime
Oil crude untapped, and yeah still unrefined
Some say it's true -that's that.
Please see me through I'm trapped.
I'm in the pews -I've asked?
This stop in time-I've perused
This Catholic boy at mass
Which voice's or choice- need clues?
God for your will, let me be used
The many for the few?
Too many just do you?
Answers I've seen plenty
Is only one what's true?
A number in a stack? It's two.
God right now it's me n you.
Inside I'm so dirty, hands just washed I'm clean.
Body language 101
we all know what that means
I wander
yet I stay on track
Move forward then slide back
Ambiguous I happen
docile I attack..
Up-down, left-right
I Wait-i stop- slow down.
A soldier I see red
So serious a clown
Straight ahead...
The record circle's round and round
A lush- a softy made of lead, in such a rush...
Sirens all around
Right where I was
A code, OD'eeed-male
In silenca, a man down
He's cool, clammy and pale
From defects I was drowned
The hurry from the country to uptown
Loved people in a rush
don't touch, so much is still unfound.
I look around, I'm lost
A pilot on the ground
Im hot, I'm cold- but clutch
Not now
Calm then told "im bout ta bust"
these drugs a crutch, for way too long
Too many times discussed
Lord, just where do I belong?
In you I trust- My faith a must
In silence I stand strong
You choose us-it's left then right?
For insight I do pray
Left, right
What's left -I write
Each breath I fight, i say:
Now in sorrow -right is right.
"Some direction" if i may?
Right where im at -tomorrow?
I see right past today.
The here - why, where n how?
Good moments passed away
Ambiguous I talk
Rhetoric Q "n" A?
But mine! -just lines of chalk
an outline where i lay!
My question of all time
Was I grateful for my stay?
