DNR

Do not give me easy slogans,
For they carry only dust
And I cannot hope to turn again,
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย I cannot hope
That there is a god in whom to trust.

Sit not at my side seeking conversation,
For the desert will no longer bear fruit,
And I cannot hope to turn again,
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  I cannot turn
When the sun blasted tree is dry from the root.

And do not resuscitate my paper bones,
They shall remain as scrolls of what could have been,
For I cannot hope to turn again,
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย I cannot,
Let the sea bear testament to my long dead dream.
