VALUES HIGH
And so I run from trickery
From those who say they’re friends
Yet throw their dignity away
While lost adrift in pain
And then I hear how I’ve been hit
Between the shoulder blades
They never heard the music sweet
Or danced in synergy
My goals and dreams and values high
Are scorned as not for them
‘No-one can meet such fortitude
Amidst the driving rain’
Of course we all will fail and fall
But try we must always
To find congruence in this world
Where faith’s a travesty
And strive for being all we can
When mundane’s all around
To shine when driven to the ground
When dreams are down the drain
Seeing still within a flame
Nothing stills the glow
Innate as breath entwined with life
Pure integrity
