I remember counting on you
To count on me
When i never did.
You live the earth like cows in pasture,
Obey your hunger like dog to master.
Waiting and wondering
About an alternative
That never was.
Who needs a cause?
Live and live and die and learn.
But for what?
The past did clash but it’s no surprise-
Nothing was sacred; all was compromise.
Looking for someone to understand you:
What a poor excuse to be renewed.
I remember looking for you.
I remember staring at times
When minds were kind
And flesh was blind
To symbolic hate
We’ve mistaken for faith
And taken to our graves
So neatly tucked away.
But that’s not how it died.
Waiting for you
To bring it flowers…
I remember counting on you.
