Votive Forces

It really does matter now!

On stage for a general connection

A game played marking cards

Paperweights in counting houses

Seeking seats in our backyards

Phrases filled with undertakings

Scream out change to be maintained

Kissing babies shaking shaky hands

Let there be better days proclaimed

Empty pots are filled with future cash

All that wealth has long been spent

As those who hold the silver spoons

Build sugar castles near our tent

Are revolutions drawing bridges up

Turning tables on our buddies

Short sighted trading our tomorrows
In reservoirs where water muddies
