UP IN ARMS

 

Warrior like now, I am ready for battle

Against all the blatant lies of love

For in my crusade to find that crystal

I had long held on to the soft dove

 

Enough! I cry, do not make a fool of me

And blind me not with sensual words

Lead me not into a maze of enchantment

Hustle me not along like part of a herd

 

Some hand me kindness and pity

Some will with poetic emotions fool

But do any of you know what I really mean

When I say I stand drowning in a whirlpool?

 

Guess in this world no one truly cares

Nor helps to crawl out of your murky mire

If you have made your bed, you lie in it

No one really dares but for their own desire…
