Familiar as it may seem, I wish I had never been here before
The reccurring pattern of dysfunction: all the power and control
It’s not as if I’m new to any of this, but I wish there was a way to reach your inside and set you free

And so it stays unseen, under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust, it’s never going to change

You were the one I was supposed to turn to when I needed someone
I realize that I’m powerless, but at least I’m not alone
So turn your screws on any which way because I’m not playing along
You carry this like a trophy when you could have been so strong
But I am not to judge you anymore, I promise you

And so it stays unseen, under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust, it’s never going to change

The man with the broken heart filled with lead
He suffered and he fought for what he believed in
The fighting is over now, the man is dead
A martyr for the cause

Dear heart
I wish that you could see
Dear heart
You mean the world to me

The man with the golden arm, his face has gone pale
He has taken too much junk
He has gone over the rails

He breathes out a sigh and his body wails
He is gonna land in trouble
He is going to land in jail

He would give his life
He would give his everything
To reach his goal and take that last and final fling

But I guess it’s just another story in the greatest story ever told

Dear heart
I wish that you could see
Dear heart
You mean the world to me

A couple of news stories caught my eye today.

The first was of a man who was riding his horse on the side of a Los Angeles freeway icon-external-link-12x12 . He was subsequently charged with a DUI after being detained by police—apparently there is no such thing as an RUI. This makes me wonder if he’s going to lose his license to drive his car? And was his horse impounded?

The second was about a mother speaking out about the hazards of drugs icon-external-link-12x12 . A news story like this may seem unremarkable in 2018, but earlier this month the woman’s 20 year old daughter gouged out her own eyes while standing in front of a church. It’s rather difficult for me to wrap my head around something like this; I have a hard enough time when I cut myself shaving. Don’t do drugs, kids.

The good news is that there weren’t any school shootings today! Although it is Sunday, and most gunmen are detail-oriented enough to not shoot up a school on the weekend.
