In Waves: the prison of principles


In Waves: the prison of principles

Most time the truth will not set a man free
It only imprisons him in
An inability to lie
To extricate himself from those

Who assault with false accusations
Like a tide one can choose to contradict
The current for only so long
Before the undertow drags a body into its ocean

Weight, barred and crumbling
Panting for an avenue to prove
The validity of posture, but
There is no footing, only liquid trip wires

To escape one must mutate into that which besets him
Sacrifice the self worth defending
The dilemma: praying to God for salvation
Answers are nil; every ounce of faith is tested

Pray and pray, the silence kills
In modicums of every lunar wax and wane
Those accustomed to taking sides, do
Vagabond, no home, truth in singular belief 

The solstice stands the eclipse up on the mast
In the sails of this darkness wrapped
Tears stack alone to drown this neck
To silence the only voice that is left listening
