let us reexamine where we’ve gone
thus far relatively speaking
there seems to be some question
regarding our general direction
one step forward and two steps back
why is it we keep stepping on cracks
though indifferent toward religion
saying prayers is still an option
I thought we had come here for good
but since learned we’re only visiting
though preparations must be made
we find ourselves living for the day
and those promises made long ago
will outlast any ancient road
august two thousand nineteen
