A Musing on the Times
I listen to anger
people with signs
yelling to be heard
all in a line
reason has left
only hate remains
nothing has changed
except dumber brains
you hate for what
and don't even know
you go to your meetings
mostly for show
with voice you yell
I can hear
instead of wisdom
I hear only fear
so please go away
with your thoughts so blind
my days hard enough
without you and your sign
Christ rode on a donkey
you come with a gun
turn the other cheek
before your life is done
next time you come
bring reasonable thought
something I know
you've never been taught
goodbye to you
and your evil friends
I pray your anger
comes to an end
we've seen this before
when reason left town
you've opened the door
to nothing but war
put down your sign
take a place at the table
give up your hate
if you're capable or able
