Another Disappointment

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT

Another disappointment

Another soft banana bruised

Another missed appointment

Another cavern lined

with empty wooden pews

Another cavern lined

with empty wooden pews

Another sinking in the quicksand

Another broken limb outstretched

Another grasping of a trick hand

Another opportunity

that’s too far fetched.

Another opportunity

that’s too far fetched.

My heart has

four percussive rooms

Amputation took one out

Even though it still

thumps along alright

I cannot replace

the chamber that I lost

I cannot replace

the chamber that I lost

Another disappointment

One number off the lottery

Another fly stuck in the ointment

Another lamb is on

its way for slaughtering

Another lamb is on

its way for slaughtering

Another maze run

for the white mouse

Another virus incurable

Another bulb burned

in the light house

Wanna stretch my faith,

not sure it’s durable

Wanna stretch my faith,

not sure it’s durable

Cracks in the foundation

One good shove

should knock it down

Where’s my vocation when my passion and the needs are nowhere found?

When my passion and the needs are nowhere found?
