Quiet Determination

You cause nothing but trouble wherever you burn
You’re the sunlight in my open eyes
but I won’t go blind today.
'cause your lies and clever distractions, I see through them.
And I have experience dealing with repeat offenders,
they swing from my branches like unripenned fruit.
Found wanting weighed.
But with all the evidence finally laid out in front of me,
I can almost taste
A confession
A confession
So if the court would stay quiet for only a second,
I’m pleased to make my case and tell my story.
But wait just a moment, I’m passing a motion
I also am the judge and the jury,
You should worry.
You should worry.
Where are you leading us all is malodorous evil,
The reddest of herrings is wearing a worrying scent.
You ask if I’m serious, why am I acting so gleeful?
What do I want? Should you rather abscond or repent?
Abscond or repent.
Settle the score.
No lawyer needs a spider in their corner shredding documents for sport.
Now, deciding your fate is no simple matter because a part of me knows that I
wil miss you.
But you are so complicated, I couldn’t pin you down and now you are becoming
and issue.
Little thief on the run and a witch hubt of one
