I'm not a man of action
here resting on my laurels
I've got no satisfaction
clearly bankrupt of morals
completely out of fashion
embroiled in many quarrels
am here to write the caption
to give form to the horrors
I'm not a man of action
for I am a man of words
by no means a distraction
nor the whim of the disturbed
with some lines gaining traction
while the others go unheard
magnifying infractions
and the culling of the herd
there was no way to know it
when I first picked up the pen
that I'd become a poet
and I would do it again
with nothing to show for it
but the words I'm carving in
stained with ink as I pour it
over scarred and fragile skin
I'm not a man of action
read the cards there in my hand
I have not done a fraction
of what I know that I can
was part of the attraction
and always part of the plan
everything's a transaction
from what I now understand
there was no way to know it
when I first picked up the pen
that I'd become a poet
and I would do it again
with nothing to show
Sleep drips down upon the moonlit crest.
Among the black shadows of open country
what Moon can fill my sorrowful
sign of passage? The whitened headlights
grow weary of wanting to let themselves go
to the somber whisper of midnight.
A new beginning, a means to an end
A prayer unanswered, a prayer unsaid
The loss of faith, an unknown quantity
an unknown fate
Soul religion, spirits rise and the
coming of communion
The sacrificial and the lead
Out for slaughter and out for the
kill
Paradise in a paradox
Totalitarianism and the law of averages
A state of affairs, a state of emergency
Jesus Christ and the Anti-Christ
Lit up in neon
The third kind
And the second coming will be televised
Shadows land
Blinding light
Death's disguise
Soulless minds
Lifeless eyes
Dead inside
Hidden away
Silent cry
Lost in prayer
Preyed upon
