A Political Poem ... Of sorts: It All Got Crazy Somehow

It All Got Crazy Somehow


You know what I did,
What I did today?
I tried really hard,
Really hard to pray;
Pray for the anger,
And pray for the hate,
Pray for the people,
Whose words we ate;
I don’t think it did much good—
My prayer

And the people have ears,
That cannot hear;
They have eyes
That cannot see.
There are only two sides,
Two sides so few.
One side is right
And the other, too
Their hearts are mad
Their minds are on fire

There is no answer to satisfy,
The minds that are on fire;
The eyes that cannot see
The hearts in sinking mire

There was peace once,
Once in the Garden
But deception came,
And it all got harder.

The Singer sang,
“Creation is tired, and my children are angry
They hate,
They’re sad,
And painfully mad,
Homicidal
Suicidal,
What have they done?”
Is anyone willing?
Yes, even one
To remember the cross
And what was done?

“And my children return;
Return to dust.”

“Where are my children?”
The Singer asks.

“Where are my children—the true and just?”
