Don’t Damn Me!

there ain’t no karma to take away the pain
no cosmic power to justify restrain
do unto others, what you wish done to you
a nice little lullabye
something to help children sleep at night
disempower the boogie man
delusion for the win
delusion can’t last forever
and sooner or later it’s not enough
sooner or later there needs to be answers
not neat little answers to make it all ok
dark, terrifying answers
which bring actions just as bad
it’s right to fear them
there’s no going back once you give into them
there’s no saying sorry, not even regret
afterall they’re justified
justice itself comes at a price though
one i’m not ready for
maybe i’ll never be ready
maybe it’s the new delusion
but it suits for now
the pieces fit
it doesn’t bring peace
it doesn’t fill the gap
but it gives promise
a glimmer of hope
ineloquent hope
but hope all the same
