Life

Crippled by our own inadequacies
We fail to express
With the very breath
That we possess
The depth of our pain and suffering.........

We lie still with no will
To feel
And reel back
Into time
Where there was no grime
And perhaps the chime
Of dime clocks
Repeled the ghosts
That now haunt our thoughts........

We fail to realise
That God can utilise
The pain that we hide
And bind our battered sides.
