He'd know I was
about more principles
than morals as defined by
the world we live in
because they got lost
in translation of
doctrines and democracies
and as much as I love
to argue policies
right and wrong
have goal posts
in the field of my
perception
that leaves room for
some sideways antics
but only so much
before
you are considered
out of bounds
and out of the game
if missed enough
when it matters most
and what's on the line
is a reason that
is being fought for
to prove
is more than a season
though the time passing
is kept by the clock
every second is a new
2 minute drill
waiting to see if
your passion can
compete with your will
and every point matters
the game lasting as long
as you live
and find yourself
as apt to forgive
as you expect of others
mercy in my arms
this peace
shouldn't set off alarms
because you prayed
for this peace
to be still
but surely you know
it can't
but baby
I will
if really
were you ready
to kiss goodbye
the who's, what's, and why
and give faith
a try
otherwise
I've wasted fare
getting here
standing as your answer
and you can't even
see me clear
blocked and jaded
by fear
of what is unknown about
the future
as if you'll ever know
as you skepticism
waves goodbye
and reluctantly
the hope is made
to let go
