Nestled

Which of Two

By Jake LoPrestiPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Where did the time go?

How did it get there?

Where did our minds go?

Does it all seem fair?

Some travel faster

Some go much farther

Some see the slave as lord

Some see the Father

What is the mission?

What is the reason?

Did you seek permission?

Or did you go with the season?

Some seek it out

Some just get told

Some quit while they're ahead

Some push until they're old

Why do you want so badly?

Why not be content?

Why do you sell your soul?

Why let your life be spent?

You thought it was in the name of saving

You thought you were safe from harm

You were falling safely in a spot

That was nestled in evil's arm
