Sanctum

We come to you in times of need,
like suspects calling a lawyer,
to plead our case to one who can help.
Then we forget.

The need again, fleeing to you,
clinging to you like our mother's skirts,
The problem solved, no need anymore
We did it ourselves

It's gotten bigger, still we're selfish,
quickly to the place where we can find you,
Alone on our knees we beg,
no one is there, it’s our turn to solve it
