ophelia
drowned in the water
crushed
by her own weight
hitler
loved little blue-eyed boys
and
it drove him to hate
birds
always grow silent before the night descends
‘cause
nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend
a
hero’s torso built of steel and novocain
his
heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame
there
was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill
so he
found himself a whore to love
while
daisies choked in the window sill
we’ve
made houses for hatred
it’s
time we made a place
where
people’s souls may be seen and made safe
be
careful with each other
these
fragile flames
for
innocence can’t be lost
it
just needs to be maintained
a
small town in ohio
two
boys are filled with violence
and
darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance
we
are given to a god to put our faith therein
but
to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin
we’ve
made houses for hatred
it’s
time we made a place
where
people’s souls may be seen and made safe
be
careful with each other
these
fragile flames
for
innocence can’t be lost
it
just needs to be maintained
I
want to live bravely and love without fear
I
want always to feel the wings of grace near
we
all will be christed when we hear ourselves say
we
are that to which we pray
we’ve
made houses for hatred
it’s
time we made a place
where
people’s souls may be seen and made safe
be
careful with each other
these
fragile flames
we’ve
built houses for hatred
it’s
time we made a place
where
people’s souls may be seen and made safe
be
careful with each other
these
fragile flames
for
innocence can’t be lost
it
just needs to be maintained
