Saaxiib Qurux Badan


And the emptiness you can’t seem to fill
Beauty fades & pleasures cannot take away the chill
And the glamour lures you down into a lie
Oh, but the cup of kindness never will run dry

You hear the vandals howlin’ down your walls
And arm yourself against the ones
Who want to see you fall
’Til some Holy Grail reveals the grand design
Well, it was in a cup of kindness all the time

– “Cup of Kindness
by Emmylou Harris
(from her 2003 album,
Stumble Into Grace)
