Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Surrender the Tears

Posted January 15, 2000 3:53pm ET

Does anger lead to elegance?
Does laughter lead to tears?
Does love lead to suffering?
Or thinking lead to fears?
Does caring lead to hatred?
Compassion lead to lust?
Does life lead to lost todays?
Are simple fears still just?

I surrender
Take these tears from me
I surrender
Until the blind can see

Do I lead to controversy?
Do you lead to pain?
Do these things you hear,
From me drive you insane?
Am I lost in lunacy,
Beneath your silhouette?
Am I left in solitude,
Mem’ries of soft breaths?

I surrender
Take these tears from me
I surrender
What do you want from me?

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
