No Saviours – Sunday 15th April 2001

No Saviours

i could not save the situation
i watched the routine
for i knew it was the same
i did not follow it too far
i knew it would trickle down the drain
i could not accommodate the strange
i could not construct and institution
in which they could all stay
i could not save the situation
i had to watch it die
but i got away quick
before salt was rubbed into our wounds
i have seen all this before
i knew it all too well
i had left by the main door
i did not loiter in the foyer
i walked out to meet my future
i could not save the situation
