How Long

How Long
05/17/2005

How Long ‘Til Saturn Calls Me Home
To Lift My Burdens From The Ground
Or Rescues My Dead Bones Once More
And Heals The Wound This Earth Has Forged.

How Long Must Wisdom Make No Sound
While Fancy People Dance And Turn
As Children Stifle Silent Cries
When Mercy’s Buried Or Disguised.

How Long Must Sorrow Shake It’s Fist
Naive And Hoping It’ll Be Blessed
Will Reeds Commence To Bend And Break
While Pounding Upon Heaven’s Gate?
