Between A Rock & A Hard Place

 

Trust me

said the man I didn’t trust

Stay in

 

every part of me

is against

what he stands for

but he has support

from the people

that I trust

 

Trust me

said the man I didn’t trust

Get out

 

every part of me

is against

what he stands for

but my heart aches

for what I believe

to be right

 

Don’t trust him

said the man I trust

Stay In

 

my head

and my heart

turning on each other

fighting to be heard

my head

and my heart

 

Don’t trust him

said the man I trust

Get out

 

my head

and my heart

aching for betrayal

pleading for domination

my head

and my heart

 

so

I lay aside trust

lay aside loyalty

lay aside personality

lay aside the human face

lay aside charisma

lay aside the politics

 

the day dawns

and my cross

goes where it always

was going

 

all the rest

is just circus

just white noise

just media

manipulation

 

get rid of the doubt

do not blame

do not look for forgiveness

 

we are individuals

our choice is ours

it can be flawed

it can be faultless

 

but in the end

we live with it

 

in the end

we decide

Ian,
Probably a true account of the minds of the majority as
we approach the big vote.

The problem is that those two last little stanzas (with which you have ended so succinctly) sound so chillingly final.

Indeed Ian. One of the 4 North Yorkshire Councillors who sensibly voted against fracking yesterday was in fact a Tory. It's getting harder just to trust a certain party to do what is right, you have to do the research yourself and work it out.
