It's hard to let go

When you dunno know what to hold next

When you gotta trust a lot

Cuz you control less

I wonder if that's what got us

In this whole mess

The fear of death

Clinging to what we know best

When it's destructive

Become unproductive

Already run its course

But we insist that it must live on

So we clutch it with a tough grip

Tight squeeze

Tragically that just chokes it so

The life leaves

Let the light breathe

Let the eyes see

Insight

Beyond what is

To what might be

All our systems

Food, schools, religions

Politicians to businesses

Prisons to musicians

Face the same decisions

Living thru this shift

Stay alive at all costs

Or see loss as a gift

That's fear of death

Or resurrection
