Tookie

You love to rub my face in it

Redemption

Revenge

Sadness cutting deep

May hope for us rise up

From the ashes of this smoldering train wreck

Tookie's death saving us

From ourselves

I hate the bitterness I have carried

When a redeemed man dies

Exposing me with the light

of grace

mercy

Love

I want to be a better man

To fight for such a cause

No to die for such a cause

I long for the day

of our soul-filled

loved filled

embrace

God have mercy

Lord have mercy

And the Lord prayed that we would be one

Like his father and he

I didn't think it would be fullfilled

in the depths of sorrow

borne from injustice

but so be it
