In Recognition

to run from what is to what was
to run from is that not what they want of you?
to run from the inevitable is for their children
                and for them
to run from the unmistakably true is also their trait
  cast it back to the fish
run run run     give your fears to them they will know what
                          to do
to fall beneath their statues in praise
to fall is that not what they want of you?
to fall in recognition of their heroes their gods their sins
fall fall fall  give them that affliction     they will without a doubt
                                                          rise again
                                              with their heroes gods and sins
to cry for release from that which should not be
to cry is that not what they desire of you?
to cry because of unbelievable pain     to cry of despair
to cry and still not be rid of the devil given to you
to cry for is that not in their realm of things?
                                to cause tears of frustration?
cry cry cry     give them your tears    they are the cause
crying running falling down in praise will not solve the problems
but you will if you rise up and cleanse your mind of the garbage
given you dry your last tears of hopelessness and run towards
not away

        run to fall down in recognition and then cry.
