Cut Straight to the Chase: What Matters Most

Lofty exaltations
Flowery conversation
How long must I wait?
The incessant chatter
Let’s get to the heart of the matter
Give it to Me straight

I know who I Am
Show Me who you are
It’s time to get real
Reveal to Me your scars

Tell Me you’re angry
Right now you’re in distress
I can get you out of your mess
Later, you’ll thank Me

Honesty is key with Me
It’s best to tell it all
I can show you every mystery
All you have to do is call

Next time, cut to the chase
Don’t waste time with pleasantries
Though they mean so much to Me
Just state your case, please

There’s always a space of grace
When you and I are face-to-face
