Poem
How can a day last for so long and a year go by so fast? I'm racing for the future with my wheels spinning in the past. If the rain never stops. How come the wells run dry? I feel I can cry a river but there's not a tear in my eye. How come we only call on God when we're in trouble, jail, or prison? How can we hear what He says when we're to busy to even listen. If the laughter never stops. When will the crying begin? Everybody is looking to heaven while we're still living in sin. The clock just keeps on ticking. How much time do we have left? The Lord's heard so much whinning that He's probably gone deaf. I found a needle in the haystack after I was blinded by His Son. I'm going to smile when I see Jesus. Maybe you better run. How can it be so quiet when the music never stops? Who made all these rules and who's policing the cops. If you never question authority are any of us truly free? When did the land of opportunity turn into the land of the fee? Why do the poor always pay while the rich get richer? Do you think the presidents poor or do you get the picture? How can we all be so damn poor yet we still buy into all their lies? Absolute power corrupts absolutely and all our freedom dies.
