White Flag [View all]

The world spins out of control

Where is the anchor on this sinking ship?
How do we stabilize
Preventing the capsize
So inevitable in this whirlpool?

When chaos rules and sanity is a joke
And reckless words can start a war
Commands believed to be God-given
To narcissistic dominators of Man

Should I just raise the White Flag?
Should I break the mast and sink the ship?
To prevent the pirates of our lives
From throwing us overboard?

Sometimes passive surrender
Breaks the spirit of the evil ones
Who crave resistance so they can crush
Those who oppose them under their heels.

Don’t give them the satisfaction
Just leave them out on the island alone
With no help and no provision
To starve in the relentless noonday heat…
