how much do you really know
is it enough to get by in life
is time the la peau de chagrin
upon which you can make your mark
they say this is the way
can a shrine replace the shrunken heart
how heavy is your dedication
do you wish to join the holy bores
or master self emdr
they say this is the way
it’s your choice to go or stay
have you never seen a kisser
kill off his darlings out of spite
is god the trauma in religion
are you the hearth that warms the home
it’s your choice to go or stay
tomorrow begins today

“The trauma in religion”. Trauma should not be associated with religion but sadly it is. Throw what to Sinéad O’Connor’s ripping of the pope’s picture. Remember that?! Sad 😢 very sad 😞

I do remember that. It was such a powerful act of protest, and it was brave of Sinéad to do it. Thank you so much for reading, Dawn!

Oh to make your mark but not feel like it doesn’t matter. What drives us to do what we do?

It’s a bit of a clash, really: Should I go or should I stay?
