because you are
by Laura Doomtoday my eyes are closed
to ideas of some lofty plan
a grandiose design
intelligent or otherwise
today my mind is blind
to visions of divinity
a greater scheme of things
its strength drawn up from suffering
i'd like to know who runs this scheme
that stings the innocent, the meek
these heirs of nothing more than fate
whose justice takes their names in vain
i try to keep an open mind
wipe cynicism from my eyes
considering this tenet's credence
everything happens for a reason
today no reason on this earth
in heaven, hell or universe
is good enough to bring me peace
my anger goes beyond belief
and yet - because you are - my heart
is opened, entered and disarmed
your truth in spirit as my saviour
renews my faith in human nature 02/03/2008 Posted on 02/03/2008
