always to the greater measure
pain much larger
hopes much better
fatigue more tiring
outdoing those around us

but only in word

words won’t mend the heart
words won’t reach the lost

maddening ways before us
fallen natures looking to others
old adage still rings true
lead follow or get out of the way

stop moving your lips
and spouting your thoughts
for they never amount to anything
more than lies

when ideologies are put to practice
when words become actions
then call me
