What good

2781

What good is it

 

I am not in it

 

Not in everything you say 

 

Your not

 

In everything I do..

 

 

My mind is empty, my spirit dissolved 

 

There's nothing left 

 

Everything is new 

 

Everything is old.

 

Like a sponge soak it up 

 

Nothing to conflict 

 

How's it feel padre 

 

Who's the heretic?

 

 

All that's old is new again 

 

The plan has never changed 

 

What good is it to be like you?

 

To be as you are

 

To do as you do

 

In the world you have no glory 

 

Nothing to articulate 

 

Just the same old story 

 

Spoon fed for the plate

 

What good is it 

If I am's not in you?

 

The people seem to love it

 

I fear, without a clue 

 

Turn aside after empty things

 

Which cannot profit nor deliver 

 

Nothing is without you 

 

With you is the quiver.

    Porn of hopelessness and regret I feel sadness here

      Thanks. It's all open to interpretation!

      Appears on the surface to observe a superficiality of societal norms and the lack of genuine glory or purpose in the prescribed roles and actions. There is a palpable frustration with the monotony and the futility of being "spoon-fed" stories and routines that lack substance or deliverance. But the change we see in ourselves- the you in me, may just be the turn around point for each individual whole and the world entire.

        In that day...

      • rin

        There's your shape in the emptiness
        There is a shape of you outside of my empty heart
        When people see you, they say it looks like you
        The shape that I don't understand is
        Looks like an alien
        Looks like a saint
        It's like a god
        It's like a devil
        No one really knows

          Each man must find his own salvation with fear and trembling.
