Drawing breath from stone

James 1:14-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 

¹⁵ Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Methodical living in a similar well-known reason

Drawing breath from a stone on a regular basis

Try to mold it quickly for our particular season

Walking in dimension solving continuous crises

Calling for a way of life to fit our own desire

Forcing in ways of “peacefulness” what we want to have

In our best attire wading through the self-made mire

Counting it a blessing as our daily needed bread

Rolling over sideways looking at the ground

Calling it simply: “An unending opportunity”

Let everyone move aside as we’re Heaven Bound

In our self-destructing illusion called: “Depravity”

Here today and here tomorrow molded in persistence

Embracing blindness as a guiding light

Escaping responsibility at our own insistence

Trying to escape from what we know to be right

Daringly expectation knocks perpetually at our door

Our hearing has grown dull from the constant sounds

We add one more chain to secure ourselves as before

As we hide in our coffin in a straightjacket tightly bound
