I Am Shallow Deep Within My Soul

I Am Shallow Deep Within My Soul

By PJ Perry

I am shallow deep within my soul

Though not lost because you can't find me

I may be blind to what you see

Even if I have taken, I never stole

In that cage you call a church

The human herd asks for guidance

My prayers drowned in subsidence

I did fall off the perch

Your absence has shown me the path

Through the life that I will travel

And complex times unravel

A smile turns into a smug laugh

One day before you I may stand

You'll be jury and the judge

For that I won't begrudge

But one thing you must understand

Your trial has already taken place

You may get a reprieve

From those who still believe

But you still didn't show your face

I don't need your shelter

I won't need you in the end

My actions I can defend

If you send me to the devils smelter

I didn't save the earth

That once seemed so much flatter

You didn't help either for that matter

At least I tried for what its worth

Alone I'll live until the end

I can cope with the insanity

But for what you haven't done for humanity

You will surely be condemned
