Complacent Agenda.
Complacent - (com pla cent) – adjective
pleased, esp. with oneself or one's merits, advantages, situation, etc., often without awareness of some potential danger or defect; self-satisfied
When I've pushed all aside for you
you've pushed me aside for your own desires.
When I've given the last that I have
When I fought with borrowed breath
When at my own expense I gave to you.
You turned me away in defiance.
When I've shown you the truth
you fed me disdain
and when I loved you without bitterness
you instilled bitterness in me.
When my cries for help go unheard
and my life fades away
Your needs always came first
you had to go out and play.
When I've shown you through example
that which you strove to believe
you put me on a crucifix, stabbed me
just to see if I'd bleed.
When in the face of vulnerability
you twisted the knife and thrust even more.
Yet when you heard my cries
my anguish and pain
you smiled and walked out once more.
How many wounds must bleed before
you believe in the truths that bind us.
How many times have you stopped to look
at the long traveled road behind us?
Your spite, your greed to make your world happy
Has cost you the life of the one you'd called Daddy.
