Aug 2022
Alleviate
Alleviate my heavy heart
Release the demons
that I wish would soon depart
Turn the air pure in thought
What I've found was not that what I sought
What I gathered were the weeds and thorns
and the lightning from thunderstorms
Now my bones ache of sin
These guilty feelings run deep within
Once I reached the mountain's top
I realized there was no place to go but to drop
The devouring grave with headstone made
has me questioning if I am saved
So I raise my fist in a defiant stance
Such foolish arrogance
yeilds an ungodly glance
I am a rich man in beggars clothes
To be stripped naked so my sins will be exposed
Fot what little I have gained . . . will be taken and given to the righteousΒ to claim
