Fairness Treatment

Controversies have been circling ‘round my head Regrets need to be let go – instead… Dread gets in the way Today isn’t so gray There’s this deepness in your voice that I love most It’s a thing that I won’t boast about – let’s have a toast Compassionate cleverness is in your voice But, debate doesn’t allow you to rejoice I’m at ease with me, myself and I Why are people so obsessed with social media? Sometimes I wonder why…why… Horrible sadness is the easiest to deal with, huh? I’m sorry for letting you down – but your downs will become high Confidence is lacking in your governmental call America will rise after its fall…I’m starting to like you and all Thankful for hanging on for so many years Through laughter and tears Through laughter and tears Political debates are not my pleasurable subject I must admit But, I still have my youthful wit – it has made a big hit I can go the distance if you’d take me there With you, I feel these scars I bear Disappear in a moment in time Chaos and peace clash in my mind’s eye suddenly Especially when I watch the debates on television distastefully What about they use the fairness treatment? Simplicity ain’t gonna help – wisdom from above will I desperately need an anti-depressant Because seeing all this live is making me sick to the stomach still Will America be mended soon? Yes, with God’s right hand! I feel good only once in a new moon Logic and sense is what I understand, Not this foolish qualms that go about in this Earth This Earth that lacks so much love and mirth Sorry to be blatant At least I’m not arrogant Hell, if I was, then I would be someone awful and unlikable I’m capable of doing lots of good and harm…I’m not perfect, but I’m able To melt your heart of stone What now? I’m left alone But, I’d rather be alone then to be in a house full of useless desires These debates burn up unbearably like a million forest fires Wow, how time flies There are lows after the highs I’m picking up on selfish behaviors I’m sorry – some of my words injure your heart…it just can’t take enough of my stress I need His eustress, not this worldly, ugly distress…I won’t give you my mess… I’ll clean it up for the best Yes, I wish to pass His test, Using the fairness treatment… Not the world’s discrimination Why can’t you just repent? Can’t stand all this frustration No wonder the world is the way it is… It’s going down into Satan’s abyss Seeing people on their phones non-stop We’re just clicking our way towards naught We, like weeds, grow on…these seeds of greed won’t stop Spreading across the planet that burning so hot With a tendency of losing control God will forgive the unattainably-annoying fool My bad, I tall too much, do I? Deep inside, I want to cry – Why does the world not understand His wisdom? Has the world become numb and dumb In its understanding? Don’t watch me in my crash landing Don’t watch me in my crash landing I need His fairness treatment right now I need His wisdom from on high somehow Tough luck to the future, left untold I’ll not be shy anymore…I’ll, for once, be bold – God’s Word is made of the finest…gold… And no debate can tell me otherwise, For I seek not fools, but the wise
