DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES

Dire Circumstances

 What would you give up?

To save someone you love?

What if what you did made no difference?

Would you still do it?

Will it give you satisfaction if any?

Don’t take too long to answer sonny.

You stick the blade in my back

Just as I turn around

How could you do this?

We were friends, two minutes ago

Did something change just now?

Or did some seed of vengeance since long grow?

I stand corrected, as you’ve directed

Man is a complex being

Our thoughts and actions never did match

Some other factor makes us act on instinct

It makes me do, things I’d never do

I can claim to be innocent, it’s just not true

Conflicting actions in everyman’s doing

Say something and do something else

What is in the heart is never disclosed

Right from the very start

What would make someone choose this?

How could anyone know this?

Dissented, disgruntled, annoyed but alive

At that moment life won’t matter

Lashing out is all they do

But when it comes to your physical presence

You run and take cover like a little Polly girl

While all around you, things start to swirl

I went down the rabbit hole, saw the mole

We drilled all night, so couldn’t run the poll

All stood in dismay, the vultures all play

We were too depressed to stay

I tried speaking to them of this situation

My words however had no stimulation

It still haunts me on some vary night

I could’ve set all things right

She had feelings I couldn’t comprehend

I was just frustrated at this dead end

What would you give up,

For someone you love?
