Put It Down
(Tom Entrican 05-28-22)
Clinging to things that do not love
These things that hold us back
Until they fit us like a glove
And cause the soul to crack
Things that make us hate so much
No one needs that around
Our hearts so toxic to the touch
But we won’t put it down
We see the anger and the harm
From all the things we do
Yet we ignore all the alarms
And then the payments due
We put on smiles, pretend to care
And burn it to the ground
It does not seem we have a prayer
Still we won’t put it down
When all are lost, kids moms and dads
There is no one left to plea
And nothing here except the sad
Not one left to grieve
Before this world just fades away
And every one has drown
Maybe we should stop and say
It is time we put it down
