The Desert, Part 1 - How It Ends

Hold your grandmother's Bible to your breast,
Gonna put it to the test,
You wanted it to be blessed,
And in your heart,
You know it to be true,
You know what you gotta do,
They all depend on you,
And you already know,
Yeah, you already know
How this will end.

There is no escape,
From the slave-catchers' songs.
For all of the loved ones gone.
Forever's not so long.
And in your soul,
They poked a million holes.
But you never let 'em show.
C'mon it's time to go.

And
You
Already know,
Yeah, you already know
How this will end.


Tomorrow, Part 2, with stories, reflections, and perhaps even musings. But, you should already know how this will end.

I do.
