The Starship On The Edge Of Space

She came so close to me 
It was like intimacy
But then she pulled the starship out
And I don’t know then what I am about
As I share a secret too
We’re walking and I watch you
Spill the beans on me
As I look back infinitely
On who I thought I was
Now I see see that all the loss
Was just a replicate
Of me in another life or state
And I had found him in the mirror
But it clears and I don’t see her
In the picture so I run
You’re all up for the fun
But I can’t trade a sunny day
For the ability to read the sacred way
Of the storms that come to bear
Can you really not see the fabric tear
As time accelerates
And we rapidly lose our estates
To the landlords they install
I leave so I answer the call
And the land knows what I am
Generational trauma on the sand
And the wind blows through my hair
As if it knows that I am there
To take back all that they did to us
But I”m looking through windows like broken trust
At the situation in the Gaza Strip
And the warlords they equip
With weapons to rain down hell
On children who won’t live to tell
The story of the loss they bear
I see their still questing stare
Looking for someone to bear the brunt
Of what’s become a PR stunt
And a lesson in optics there
I wish I could make them care
About the lives that they ruin
I don’t think they know what they’re doing
When they press the button, go
It’s Christmas and there is no snow
In the land where Christ was born
It’s rubble that drifts toward the war torn
