ABIDING

ABIDING
There is no blame
There is no shame
But all the same
So natural, to play the game
Sometimes sad
Health so bad
No one glad
Was not a fad
When I review
Everyone knew
That we were true
We even grew
Expect revision
Justifiable decision
Life newly arisen 
Release from prison
Too many miles
False smiles
Denials
Trials
Truth remains, too
Light conquers blue
Stories of rue 
Coming from who
No more tension
Invention
Retaliation
With intention
All will be good
As it should
Knock on wood
That we could
We sighed
Also tried
Often cried
Accepted that 
It was over
We shall abide
