i don't want to be like this anymore
which is to say
i don't want to be in the place where i can't see you
i don't want to be in the place of anger anymore
he said,
a wise man told me
well he told his congregation
we need to be restless, we need a constant awareness

and then
again and again
and what i want is to feel them with joy
and what i want is to never despair
and what i need is to listen
