Just to Trade a Limb

Never wanted to be alone

Like an anonymous voice on the telephone

Like a piece of forensic bone

Banished from the forbidden zone,

I'm afraid I may have hurt you my Dear

How it could be certain I'm not very clear

Over events in your life before I was near

I apologize for my words If they brought a tear,

Troubled by that little voice in my head

All the loud ringing gone as if I’m dead

The deceased author who was never read

He’d said more than everything that had been said,

Had there only been another way

You just couldn’t bring yourself to stay

Human nature wants what it wants with no delays

Quite truthfully life has left me in a daze,

I used to think I was just a fool

Always punished by the “Golden Rule”

Like a Mars bound satellite swallowed up by the “Galactic Ghoul”,

Loss of a messiah up for another renewal,

Now I simply talk to the wind

Since I was abandoned by next of kin

Contemplating the world I’m in

Seems everyone is succumbing to sin,

The days grow dark and cold

As all the souls are busy being bought and sold

Is it easier just to do what you’re told?

Waiting for a corrupt government to fold,

Never thought I’d see the day come

When every aspect was on the run

Where evil was ready to punish the honest ones

Where the only way to get by is to become numb,

You need a lie detector to get through the day

The stories you hear will blow you away

All of god’s children are made of clay

She would have to be have been a saint in order to stay,

How did society become so dim?

How did our chances become so slim?

Like fiery eruptions on the Pacific Rim

Maybe it’d be easier just to trade a limb.
