At Odds

I see it

I am very well aware of where we are

I am very well aware of where we need to be

I am very well aware of where others THINK we are

I am very well aware of where others THINK we should be

I am very well aware of the gap between the two

I am very well aware that a tragedy will probably need to happen before people believe me

I do not want that tragedy to happen

But from where I sit, I fear it may happen

And it’ll come out of left field

At a time when we can’t afford for it to happen

We can’t stay where we are

We’re trying desperately to get out

But we can’t move forward without help

Help that keeps dragging it’s feet

We’re stuck in a vortex

We can’t go back down the path that got us here

It’ll more than likely result in us being pushed back down that same path back here

And it’s already been proven we can’t stay here

Buy every path out is presented with a roadblock

Every door that closes may lead you to a door that takes you where you need to go

But that’s kinda hard to do if every door you try to open is locked

And no one is willing to unlock one

So, time to find a way to break one open and get out before tragedy strikes
