Religion?


There's Something in the sky Just because the lights turned off when a car went by. There's Someone to share the pain Just because you heard a name in the rain. There's Somewhere to run and stay A place where it might be better, someday. And yet all we're given is here, Frozen in Time's headlights like a deer. The time we steal is ours For meager moments in steaming showers. Some say it's not enough - say the time we're given doesn't amount to snuff. Some use words like "what" and "if" Standing all straight shouldered and stiff. Yet I just sit and mock them all Those whose name the rain does - or doesn't - call. And instead I write away Tap Tap Tapping Until the dawn of a new day.
