To Be Human Again

A world in disarray Filled with un-truth Creating hate filled fear No one can walk down streets Without having fingers pointing No one can wear a thing Without offending another How does a country so strong Have so many Who don't believe in a single thing It - we - stand for? Listening to facts, not what we believe. Not taking others actions So personally. So quickly we erupt So little do we listen Offended by intelligence Offended by answers Quick to blame others Quick to shame ourselves.

There was a time when I wanted to shout at God and ask why He doesn't do anything about the mess down here; but I chose not to, fearing that He would ask me the exact same question ... it all begins with the man in the mirror. Great show of passion.

Thank you very much Bill. You are correct it all begins with the face in the mirror. Thank you for reading and understanding.
