Trust in Me

Trust in Me
2/24/2005 - Age 17

In the night when widow’s tears drown the dreams in which you cower
And the cries of orphaned children bring you to your pampered knees
Seeking refuge in the heavens and the tragedy of the towers
You cannot escape the guilt and the magnitude of our sullen pleas
And though you fought to keep the tide of the voices from expulsion
The weakened state of the lies could not settle the compulsion

And though we tried to coax you, fiend, to stand and face the jury
The selfish madness and lust for wealth just could not be ceased
With each cry of pain and shout of sorrow, we only fed the fury
Until this once assumed strong leader revealed itself to be the beast
But we recoiled and let you destroy and spread your poverty
You fed us empty lies and deceit and called it liberty

You hid behind the mask of God, convinced that you were still right
As the river waters bent the dam and set our voices free
One by one we were released and from the dark, crawled back into the light
We stood united for our fallen brothers and cried a justice plea
But you never even wavered, just brushed off you proud physique
Turned you cloaked head, cocked a smile, and whispered “You can trust in me.”


And as stable as we started, we shattered into a crumbled heap
Hypnotized by his hollow promises and the solace of this sleep
But the wound that destroyed us, the cut that ended history
Were those five provocative words he cried, “You can trust in me.”
