THE NOOSE A dirty stained rope Hanging limply from a stand Fibers of our fears And our dark envy Disguised lust Indifference towards love These are they That grip this string together A never - ending round Squeezing its victim tight We justify the unjustifiable To rid ourselves from shame When will we learn That this world is only as good as all A chain of links Binding a fragile humanity together Oh noose Your cycle of fears Remove a thread And watch it fray « return. |
