When We Can
Sentences that dissect our
limited lives
relate to nothing,
The only question to answer
is a view devoid of explicit sounds
that say who we are
who we answer to
and where we berth in our limited time,
Commands we answer to
embrace our strengths...
Divorce our struggles from
our destinies
and bury our thoughts,
And demand of us to grow, to defeat
To carry an unswerving belief beyond its immediate restrictions
to sway and startle our internal displays of affection,
to state our case,
and demand our unchristianed title
as changers...
to pray when we can...
and cry when we cannot.
