12 Steps Forward Up and Up
For those unfortunate
Enough out there
Living amongst us
Who suffer in the grips
Of our so many human forms
Of the debilitating sickness of addiction
I have always wondered
Are the numbers so high
In regards to those who follow
their calling
To become the keepers of the faith
Is that why when it comes to
Rehabilitation and following
The 12 step program
When it comes to God
They refer to and say
A God of your own choice and belief
Whomever that may well be
As your Higher Power
Far greater than you
And is why I question and ask
Have they indeed forsaken or
lost their faith
Or has their God indeed forsaken them
Because the sheer volume of numbers
Say's one thing or the other
As the simple fact of the case and matter
Is he hasn't helped them thus far
from ending up where they are
In the same place as all the other
non - believers
It would and sadly does appear
Praying for a Higher Power
To just step in and offer
Some much needed and requainte help
