    BRIDGES BURNED

    Bridges

    What do we surmise

    when all are right

    yet everything is wrong

    what is strength if we 

    only apply it to the strong

    what are we willing to forgive

    when we neglect our faults

    when a person is cut to the core

    why do we apply copious amounts of salt

     

    What is pride 

    when laced with blame

    what is regret

    when devoid of shame

    what is honor

    when dishonor is in vogue

    why do we regail the princess

    and ignore the rogue

    why do we not admit

    hatred is our true passion

    why do we bemoan the lack of love

    when through our actions

    love is severely rationed

     

    Why do we brunch with pomposity

    amongst the maples and ferns

    then attempt to discern

    why bridges burn

     

    When do we replace

    a mirror with cracks

    what can it reflect

    why do we nail jesus to the cross

    of our burdens  then in sorrow genuflect

    why do we we feel hopeless 

    when surrounded with hope

    why do we choose to climb mountains

    without securing  the rope

    why do we join the greek chorus

    in wails of discontent

    yet when jesus intones love thy neighbor

    we steadfastly refuse  to repent

    what is the use in living

    if living is spent

    searching amongst the graveyard 

    for  a delicate scent

     

    Why should I cry

    when you choose to laugh

    why do you sigh

    when I puncuate your sarcastic paragraph

    when should we  battle 

    why should we yield

    why do we walk into battle without armor

    and expect not to carried upon our shield

    why do we speak of mysteries

    and ignore the trees

    why do we recite biblical analogies

    yet refuse to bend our knees

    why do you wonder 

    why I am filled with hate

    why do you say you love me

    much too late

    I guess

    such is fate

     

    Why do we search for love

    when love has grown tired

    of being spurned

    why do we use the profane

    to  proclaim

    our right to use propane

    and scream in horror

    when the bridge finally burns
