RAMBLINGS NINE

BY: TJ

OH, LORD, MY LORD

OH, LORD, MY LORD, HELP ME?

MY HEART IS SHATTERED AT MY FEET,

MY EYES RUNNETH OVER WITH TEARS,

MY MIND IS BLURRED FROM THINKING.

OH, LORD, MY LORD, HELP ME.

MY STUPIDITY HAS CAUGHT ME,

IT TRAPPED ME WITHIN ITSELF.

IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY FOLLOW ME.

OH, LORD, MY LORD, WHY AM I SO GULLIBLE?

WHY DO I BELIEVE THOSE WHO ARE UNTRUTHFUL?

IS IT PRIDE ON MY PART, DO I NEED TO BELIEVE THEM?

IS MY HEART SO DEVOID OF LOVE FROM ANOTHER

HUMAN BEING, THAT I BELIEVE ALL THAT IS TOLD ME?

OH, LORD, MY LORD, MY HEART HAS CRUMBLED

AS THE SAND WHEN ONE LETS IT RUN THROUGH

ONE'S FINGERS. IT CAN NEVER BE PUT TOGETHER

AGAIN. IN FACT, IT IS RIGHT NOT TO HAVE IT

TOGETHER AGAIN, FOR THEN IT WOULD JUST

BELIEVE OTHER LIES, RIGHT? AND CRUMBLE AGAIN.

OH, LORD, MY LORD, TELL ME PLEASE, SIR,

WHY AM I SO INNOCENT AND GULLIBLE?

WHY DO I BELIEVE THINGS THAT ARE NOT TRUE?

WHY DO I BELIEVE EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY YOU?

OH, LORD, MY LORD, YOU TELL ME THE TRUTH,

ALWAYS I GET THE TRUTH FROM YOU.

IS THAT WHY I SO READILY BELIEVE OTHERS?

OH, BUT IT DOES HURT TO FIND THEY ARE

TELLING LIES, DOESN'T IT, LORD?

OH, LORD, MY LORD, WILL MY HEART EVER

GET BETTER, OR SHALL IT TOTALLY REMAIN

AS GRAINS OF SAND, NOT ABLE TO WORK

CORRECTLY, NOR THINK CORRECTLY, FOR

THE HEART IS THINKING, AS WELL AS THE BRAIN,

RIGHT?

OH, LORD, MY LORD, I AM TOTALLY CRUSHED,

MY HEART, MY MIND, MY EMOTIONS, ALL CRUSHED.

THEY ARE CRUSHED BECAUSE OF MY STUPIDITY,

AND BELIEVING WHAT OTHERS TELL ME.

HOW VERY SILLY AND FOOLISH OF ME.

HOW CAN YOU SET ME FREE FROM THIS, LORD?
