Presently Simplistic

Sitting within these four walls

I stop to keep thinking of you

Getting up, I turn. I leave.

This simply will not do

I question where my guardian angel is

And if what it’s watching is better than me

Has heaven been sucked in to the idiot box?

I pray it cannot be

When man is his own devil

Is it any wonder just one religion won’t do?

You look up wondering where God is to save us

While I look back and ask simply: “Would you?”

Sitting under this sky

I stop to keep thinking of you

Getting up, I move. I leave.

This simply will not do

They tell me it is better to be there than not

But neither side can offer up any proof

Circle the drain until it’s all the same

I pray for a simple truth

In 100 years we’ll look back with dirt in our eyes

But surprisingly we’ll seeing in 20/20

If no one knows what happens next

I think my present focus is what I’ll choose to see

Standing amidst the darkness

I stop to start seeing you

No need to move. I’m here.

This moment will more than do.
