The Complaint



The Complaint

Why do you drive stakes thru’ my soul?
Shred my emotions until never again whole
Play with lives as if they’re pinball
Extract what you want until torment is all

Do you see this and remain silent?
I’ve no thoughts for my mind is vacant
How can reason intrude?
When there’s so much in this world that’s distressful and crude

So my complaints are chaff in the wind
It brings sounds of crying and dying that anguish the mind
Sickness and starvation see the wretched children die
Do you cast fate into a sacrificial caste?

There’re no answers from a silent sky
There’re many who pretend to hear and send desperate minds awry
But reality exists regardless of whim or want
We’re dealt cards and praying for a joker is the silent wish we chant
