Vacillation...

...Myself I turn
...I turn from myself...

...the shadow
of the sun...

these shadows within
shadows...

My soul will not allow
me to forget...

...where we come from
deep regret...

Man continues to abuse
murder his children...

...this violence reported
into my lounge it came...
with a knife he tried
to murder three...

...this incident not 
far from me...

...a blood stained knife
his reality...

...too many problems...
innocent blamed...

too many...regurgitated
memories trapped...
inside of me...

I will thrust my soul
to the ocean...
gently stand 
at waters edge

...send all this
forgiveness into the free
I will summons an
angel...I seek...
to forget...

...these reminders...
these childrens 
souls protect...
