Light in the Pattern
We identify the source
Of our ill content
As external to ourselves
But it never is
Search to improve
Detailed plans
Step after step
Making alms
Look outside the cycle
Who does it?
Light in the pattern
Who sees it?
Too few
Just a few moments
In each lifetime
Scales fall away
Things rhyme
Just a few moments
For each one
Too few
Statistics
On suicide
A nation depressed
So much hardship
So much repressed
It's a miracle the
Irish survive
What cost?
We identified the source
Of our ill content
As external to ourselves
It was
Power transferred
Colony to church
Too much
And back to the
Drawing board
Disarray
So much abuse
Can't stay
Who takes responsibility?
Too few
Just a few moments
In each lifetime
Scales fall away
Things rhyme
Just a few moments
For each one
Too few
Statistics
On suicide
A nation depressed
So much hardship
So much repressed
It's a miracle the
Irish survive
What cost?
We identify the source
Of our ill content
As external to ourselves
And it sometimes is
Of our ill content
