Just Give Thanks

A sung poem that I composed in a moment of inspiration, sitting on our porch in the summer of 2024.

Lyrics

Just give thanks for life
All this pain and strife
What to do, but push on through
There is indeed another side

You might need to hurry
Because it's time
It's time

To find some words that rhyme
Meaning out of mush to synthesize
And fashion some simple signs
To be used on the road side

But time has dyed
Clear parchment to dense mess
Of tense and rhetoric to justify
Destruction, killing, missile, meteoric
Genocide

= = = = = = = =

Now some strings of melody
To unweave the old patterns of perpetuity
And return the thread to rest
Not dead
But learning to dip and dive through cloth again
