Zion's Children
You came to me in the night
Perceiving my heart's desire
My candle for you, still lit
But no roaring fire
...monotony...
You speak, I listen
You command, I yield
"Can't you see, I'm barren
There's no fruit in my field!"
...UGH...
Promises made to me
Witnesses present to attest
Your LOVE is grand
But I can't rest
...with LACK.....GIVE IT BACK...
....take, took, taken
....all my goods, gathered
.....and bakin'
.........................IN the OVENS of ENTITLED WOMEN.........
.....ccccccccccccRRRRRRRRRRaaaaaaa

"My LOVE, did you hear?
There is no heart to embrace
Shattered sea glass lies
On the bed of your grace
.....I have nothing left to give...."
Looking back at that time
Never, not once...did I see
All you gave up for self
In order to be near...ME!?!
....but, I didn't choose YOU...
Like "The Giving Tree"
You gave me your all, and I took
Til barrenness lined your fields
And I just never wanted to look
....to know
.........my humanity
.........in light of your LOVE
