Paradox

How can I know what to ask
When every thought is at war with the last
Every time I meet a need
Am I supporting someone's greed

Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you
The Victim and the King: the rebel and the Law
The Lion and the Lamb: the softness and the claw

How to step back from the brink
Exhausted by things that I overthink
If the planet's dying by my hand
What does it mean to take a stand

Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you
The Victim and the King: the rebel and the Law
The Lion and the Lamb: the softness and the claw

How can I know what to do
The right and good ways that I thought I knew
Have become so entwined
With the cruel and unkind

Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you
The Victim and the King: the rebel and the Law
The Lion and the Lamb: the softness and the claw

Simple answers cannot hold the paradox of you
The Mother and the Son: all-doing and undone
The Mother and the Son: all-doing and undone
