Down

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS

Down

 

A scourge has lowered upon our town

Our home and happy days

Descend we will as descend we must

There is no other way

 

We’re lost inside a maze of tunnels

That trace the underground

We seek to circle back again

But the only way is down

 

There is no cure for this disease

No path to turn around

We’ve had our taste of ecstasy

Now we’ve run the ship aground

 

We bow our heads in solemn prayer

We cannot hear a sound

A bit of hope a touch of care

Are nowhere to be found

 

Why have you forsaken us?

Our destiny is bound

We beg for mercy as we must

Yet still we spiral down
