Easy is Too Long

I’ve been having it so easy,

For a long time now . . . .

and now, 

I’m just little bit tired and sick

of being on the wrong side of easy. 

With hard times coming,

Taking it easy is not so easy any more.

Living or dying,

Caring or not,

Some choices, tough or not, have gotta be made.

We think we’ve come so far yet nothing kills like the deception we live 

In our hearts and minds we yearn for peace  

then we cry out in pain and rage sweeps our hearts and minds

And blood and butchery runs in the gutters of our hearts.

We’ve been taking easy for too long nowl

And if ever had any faith it is long since lost. 

Till I met you and yes, I’ve met you.  

In the alley's of my mind and byways of my heart. 

It’s easy loving you.

A cushion of love and then the fear of losing you. 

But hard choices remain,

And the easiest of all was loving you.
