American Temper Tantrum

 

May 4th, 2021

 

The United States of America is showing its age. In the universe of civilizations, we are barely just two years old. The “terrible twos” are manifesting themselves true to form. With 7 in 10 Republicans believing in “The Big Lie,” they are stamping their foot and crying NO! Simply because they have not gotten their way. I dislike seeing children in distress. It is unnerving. The very sad and dangerous difference is these children should and do know better. They are being manipulated by the devil.

 

 Nothing short of a miracle can change their minds.Here is the first draft of a poem which came to me during my middle of the night. The prayer I speak of is not to an all powerful deity over head, but to the good and decent soul of all.


Pray With Me

 

I don't bargain with the devil.

The truth is plain to see.

When the spell is finally broken,

won't you come pray with me?

 

There's a veil fallen between us

thin as it can be.

When the wind blows, it will open.

Then may you come and pray with me

 

When injustice rules one life

we must all take a knee.

One innocent imprisoned

means none of us are free.

 

There's no shield to protect us

from eternity.

When you're ready to be humble

please come and pray with me.

 

We will pray for our salvation. 

For strength hand in hand.

With the power of redemption 

we will heal this fractured land.
