The Mind is an Enemy

This fear I feel inside consumes me like no other
This may just be the wound from which I can't recover
I jump to all the worst conclusions when I suffer
This cross I bear needs strength that's more than I can muster
I hang the sheets up over my window to bring darkness
I cover my face from the world whose cruelty knows no limits
I ask the question but I'm terrified of the answer
My quiet room I drown my loneliness in liquor
Job 3:3-4
My mind plays tricks on me when my untamed thoughts wander
My body betrays me when coldness is my cover
My heart yearns for the day when peace will serve as shelter
My soul longs to be home at last in the everafter

Rubber Stamped Sympathy

He spent 20 years in a steel mill
Losing his job was such a bitter pill
They packed it up and shipped it overseas
And this is how the pink slip reads;
Please accept my deepest apology in this rubber stamped letter of sympathy, we're just downsizing the American dream
Please accept my deepest apology in this rubber stamped letter of sympathy, good luck trying to feed your family.
He sent thousands off to foreign shores
To fight an endless line of pointless wars
He's too busy to sign his own name
But not too busy to assign the blame
Please accept my deepest apology in this rubber stamped letter of sympathy, straight from the office of the Secretary
Please accept my deepest apology in this rubber stamped letter of sympathy, who'd have guessed just how wrong we all could be?
