Reckless
It comes
When the day stops listening
To the tick of the clock
The one that beats the drum
Not prepared to dance
To the clamor of its own throbs
The reckless one is left shattered
By the very stone
He threw in the glass house
Look at him now
He sought the generosity of mercy
Who does not know
That even mercy has a price?
