God has given you but one heart You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers And God does not care for your benevolence Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others Nor does he care for you to sit At windows in judgement of the world He created While sorrows pile up around you Ugly, useless and over-inflated” At which she turned her head away Great tears leaping from her eyes I could not wipe the smile from my face As I sat sadly by her side (C)2001 Mute Records, a BMG Company.
