Endless

Mat 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,

but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

 

 

endless

 

Draw a line in the sand with a hammer and a chisel

 

This should impress all the ones who are watching me

 

I started long ago and then I wanted to use a shovel

 

But that was too easy and did not impress my peers

 

 

 

Now I have it all together just observe my hands

 

Full of bruises and spots where I missed the target

 

Scars of faithfulness as I hungered and planned

 

To get people’s admiration to appear a super-midget

 

 

 

Look at me a leader that no one seem to follow

 

All the folk around me must be blind indeed

 

I know where I am going in trusting the hollow

 

That some call a ditch but I call that being free

 

 

 

They know not what they’re missing on this path of ease

 

Walls on either side protect me as I travel on

 

The ones before me have a cane as white as cheese

 

I’ll go ahead and pass to lead them in a familiar song

 

 

 

I hear the trumpet sounding it does not seem clear

 

I am kind of happy for many-a-one still follow

 

The walls are closing in. How can that be so near?

 

It seems that all are falling down into endless sorrow

 

 

 

Is this the end of time as I seem to know it?

 

Is everlasting here now in this endless fall?

 

It’s getting hotter as the canes are burning

 

I guess I was wrong from the start after all
