Fear
Led me
D
O
W
N
A long road
Filled with danger

Alone
I relied on the word
Of a
Stranger

Stupid is
What stupid does

Now I
“PLEAD”
So
I can just
Wake up

Nightmares
Fantasies
False hopes
Dreams

Our reality
Is seldom
What
We wish it to be

Punishment
They say
Should fit the crime

Even when innocent
In the wrong place
At the wrong time

Factory defects
Can be replaced
With new
Character flaws
Are sometimes
Overlooked
too

But
In this world
Where the strongest
Often thrive
Weakness
Can be exploited
So the status quo
Survives

Majority
vs.
Minority

All have stakes
In this game

On life
We bet all we have
Just to play

Knowing the risks
That it takes to win
If we lose at first
We ante up
And spin the wheel again

If fortune
Is meant to be ours
At last
Its security
Helps heal the wounds
Of the past

But
If at the end of the rainbow
There’s no gold in the pot
We do what we can
To make the best of our lot

We don’t depend
Only on

Wins
vs.
Loss

We pray for
“RELIEF”
And put our trust
In
GOD

For with Him
All things are possible
To achieve

And with faith
He’ll answer
If we believe

It may not be
What we want to hear

But His will
Will be done

And of this
We need not
Fear
