Poem
I often think my world is doomed evil seems to thrive so easily Can my bloodied heart be saved? Will the church help, will anybody? News discourages my outlook orations from politicians do not inspire nor do prayers still my soul Have we been abandoned by our Lord and Savior? Are we truly alone in the universe? pictures from Webb’s space telescope show planets lifeless if we are alone then it’s up to us to clean up our messes in the place we live but where do we begin the purge Who do we cast out first to make our country better? There are many culprits that must be cast out especially America’s southern white bigoted consciences if Democracy is to survive and America’s progeny, seven generations hence, is to have a chance Not easy but people know when the blade swings too far right the ax must fall but alas! It is just a beginning for the world to have real peace as white man and his kin must change their hatred of skin color Man must change his original self-protective mechanisms triggered by skin color, that perceived threat is bogus he must realize that he is lucky by his Caucasian birth but by no means is he more special than anyone else next must be to reconsider corporations, big business and the CEO’S who control exorbitant profits the super wealthy bask in excesses of their abundance excess profits should be distributed among the lower classes America must excise these scoundrels of greed and hate These contagions that can bring nations down As long as inequality exists the dark will remain Is there light in those who exude darkness? Can the light penetrate the darkness? Light shines in truth only we can turn the light on to make the darkness recede and evaporate under the weight of truth.
