incomprehension

if in your journey you find time to pause

you may not recognise your halting place

nor understand the reason nor the cause

of all the terrors that have subdued laws

instead you blame them on the wrong embrace

if in your journey you find time to pause

the vision is through solid wood not gauze

and so we may not see our own disgrace

nor understand the reason nor the cause

all that we are say you is wrongs and flaws

you would our presence from this world efface

if in your journey you find time to pause

your greatest fear is ending in guffaws

not to hear the the loud and booming chase

nor understand the reason nor the cause

grief so unsettling that it wins applause

you may not understand an open face

if your journey you find time to pause

nor understand the reason nor the cause
