2 For The Day

I realize these are rough so bear with me.

We Are

Empty glass bottle
Blows in the street
Empty hands
Beg to eat

We are deaf ears
Passing be on the road
Eyes blind
Hearts as stone

We are uncaring, unfeeling
Humanity cries out
For all human beings
Are selfish without a doubt

Stop for a moment
Clear out your ears
Listen! For around you
Are cries you must hear

We are
deaf and needy
poor and blind
We are humans who are so greedy

My Request

I have slipped
Back down the slope
I am brought low
I have failed again
Nowhere to turn
Nowhere to go
My hold on this height
Has crumbled I have fallen
To this plight
Sorrow for my mistake
Burns inside
Broken I fall to my knees
Absolve me of my crime
Make me what I should be
Oh the height from which
I have fallen
Once more I stand
Once more cast my lot; all in
Absolve me
Of everything
Absolve me
Of this sinful way I lean
Absolve me
And I shall be clean
