Commercial Schism by Todd Cheney Saturday, December 02, 2006 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
It’s not enough to say We want silence in the day It’s not enough to have We must ever seek the salve To plant upon our wound That which from birth has wound Around our heads and hearts and sought To fill our bellies full of drought It is not enough to take A measure and a stake In one’s own worth, you see It’s not about your dignity It’s not about a spirit call It’s about the coin, that’s all
