It's so easy to say he won't let them die
but he's not a god. Not an adult either
but a child who's got all these little brothers
who trickle along behind…
It's so easy to say he won't let them die
when he's one of them, when it's out
of his hands and all he can do
is whinge and whine
But now they are in his hands,
precariously balanced, and
every move matters, ever tremor
rocks the boat upon which they're placed.
It's so easy to say, when it's someone else
who gives the orders, but so hard
now that it's his voice alone.
