The Giver Takes - Saccharine Trust

what is the giver really taking?

is it the taker?

who’s directing traffic here, anyway?

are there no strategies

to win in love?

who invented immortality anyway?

where have your virtues taken you

along with your search for meaning?

climbing and staggering your pitiful

existence

while bargaining for time.

where do our morals come from?

were they inflicted?

what’s in a blood line anyway?

why are we led to slaughter?

we can find it ourselves.

who’s calling my number here, anyway?

slave, grind that wheel of endless cycles.

grip hard to endure

hours and hours of damnation

spinning throughout this haste and

confusion

yes!

there’s hope on the other end of

those strings

why do we get back up when the next fall

is so much harder?

who’s setting examples here, anyway?

when are we going to find something

truly worth suffering for?

why make sense of this, anyway?

picture a world so simple and thoughtful

with smiling neighbors, grapestick fences

and images falling from the sky

blessing you with contentment.
