God Told Me to Love
God Told Me to Love
By Iaran Frye-Carter
A man at our safe bunker lights one up
So I picked him apart
I don't live off a deadly crutch
Or self-mutilate to escape
But grasping this seems a feat
That's just too much to take
Seeing sorry faces, scarred and soiled
Part of me falls cold
God told me to give
But there's nothing they want I hold
I enter the minds of others
To see what makes them run
To see if they truly feel the same
Just to know we're one
These tiny lives in bigger pictures
Deception, dejection by fate
God told me to understand
The concept that I relate
Inside our sanctuary
It's gremlins times two
From the time emotions are dished out
To where they're received and through
A concept of such simplicity
A fox in a box under locks
God told me to expand horizons
It's beyond that, and it shocks
Average Joe goes to work
Poor Steve can't pay his fine
And Vanessa, a wolf with two jobs
Just doesn't have the time
The tears run down their faces
No wonder I'm so depressed
God told me to love
So I outdid the request
