Between Lines: Simply Stating

The moon, the sun, & stars

All the precious gems beneath the soil

A nod from heaven 

And love still couldn't 

Forty days and forty nights of prayer

Couldn't liberate the storms of the past

Down pours of rain that flood

Canal veins of hope

Suddenly dissipates under false pretenses 

Shattered hopes and unutilized dreams

Of all the strength of within

Love still couldn't 

To speak into existence 

The just as with the unjust 

So keen to justify the quick and the dead

All the while ignoring the living

Pay attention to words spoken

Laughs in a phrase 

Can haze an under tone that kills

Silence are words sometimes 

Fighting the consciousness 

To be released for havoc

Be mindful of those betrayed

The knife stuck in the back

Could be the same used to rip out the heart
