Count Your Blessings - Phineas Gage

It’s irreversible

It’s inconceivable

This disregard for life

Present, malignant and rife

Weighed down by demands of well being

Vulnerable to disease

And now a murderous rampage is plaguing the globe

Another reason to feel ill at ease

Frenzied, obsessed with the need to oppress

We’re all transgressors in your eyes

It’s irreversible

It’s inconceivable

This disregard for life

Present, malignant and rife

Preoccupied, it’s consuming my l mind

Trying to preserve my current way of life

Relationship problems get the best of me

Vexed by this small minded society

Constantly reminded that things could be worse

Reminded that my life could take a sinister turn

Count your blessings while they last

Savour the moment before it’s passed

Frenzied, obsessed with the need to oppress

We’re all transgressors in your eyes

It’s irreversible

It’s inconceivable

This disregard for life

Present, malignant and rife

I yearn for a future

Where compassion is universal

I yearn for a life

Where my values comply

I hope for an afterlife

Where I can find peace of mind

Hope

Hope

Hope
