Determined

pride and shame are baseless songs

to punish is error, to praise just as wrong

we are who we are through no cause of our own

yet here we are wandering this world all alone

cursing our soul for it's naughty behaviour

when the blame is not your's, nor your soul's, nor your saviour's

yet the fix for you faults, only you can obtain

drop the illusion, and then take the reigns

He forgives you.

no matter your flaw.

for He, 'God', Himself, wrote the words on the wall

so realise with haste that you're not to blame

then dig up your demons and hear what they say

find all your errors and attempt to fix them

with total compassion, aimed at you from within

be at peace with the knowledge that you are the victim

unheard, neglected, abused. as as him

all are the result of this causal realm

none are to blame, yet all at the helm

to steer the future that could be.

if only you could see.

that you are not to the cause, and neither is he.

so fill them with wisdom, use patience and love

for they too, as you, were fooled by the bluff

fill them with wisdom, 'til all surrender

to this fact of the world, to the end of the error

we all failed to see, how ridiculous to be

cursing the other, or yourself, or your brother

raging in tears, with lightning, with thunder

at the injustice, that's real! yet all us are under

you're lucky or not

you're given your lot

but realise it fully

take your shot
