Noose

Buried guilt like a child
Keeping your secrets from gluing
And you were taught what was right but you just looked right through it
And the murder of kids you refused to condemn
Did I really hear that well?
How do you expect to elude the karma kill?
Is that a noose around your neck?
You’re already gone you just don’t believe it
How long til the sediment is pulling under the waves?
How long will the shadows hide a sordid refugee?
When the food that you serve sticks in God’s throat
With sick tenacity
Only a fool would believe that sin remains unseen
In heart, in mind, the devastation lurks
Look hard and you’ll find
The universe in motion
