Fairness Treatment
Controversies have been circling ‘round my head
Regrets need to be let go – instead…
Dread gets in the way
Today isn’t so gray
There’s this deepness in your voice that I love most
It’s a thing that I won’t boast about – let’s have a toast
Compassionate cleverness is in your voice
But, debate doesn’t allow you to rejoice
I’m at ease with me, myself and I
Why are people so obsessed with social media?
Sometimes I wonder why…why…
Horrible sadness is the easiest to deal with, huh?
I’m sorry for letting you down – but your downs will become high
Confidence is lacking in your governmental call
America will rise after its fall…I’m starting to like you and all
Thankful for hanging on for so many years
Through laughter and tears
Through laughter and tears
Political debates are not my pleasurable subject I must admit
But, I still have my youthful wit – it has made a big hit
I can go the distance if you’d take me there
With you, I feel these scars I bear
Disappear in a moment in time
Chaos and peace clash in my mind’s eye suddenly
Especially when I watch the debates on television distastefully
What about they use the fairness treatment?
Simplicity ain’t gonna help – wisdom from above will
I desperately need an anti-depressant
Because seeing all this live is making me sick to the stomach still
Will America be mended soon?
Yes, with God’s right hand!
I feel good only once in a new moon
Logic and sense is what I understand,
Not this foolish qualms that go about in this Earth
This Earth that lacks so much love and mirth
Sorry to be blatant
At least I’m not arrogant
Hell, if I was, then I would be someone awful and unlikable
I’m capable of doing lots of good and harm…I’m not perfect, but I’m able
To melt your heart of stone
What now? I’m left alone
But, I’d rather be alone then to be in a house full of useless desires
These debates burn up unbearably like a million forest fires
Wow, how time flies
There are lows after the highs
I’m picking up on selfish behaviors
I’m sorry – some of my words injure your heart…it just can’t take enough of my stress
I need His eustress, not this worldly, ugly distress…I won’t give you my mess…
I’ll clean it up for the best
Yes, I wish to pass His test,
Using the fairness treatment…
Not the world’s discrimination
Why can’t you just repent?
Can’t stand all this frustration
No wonder the world is the way it is…
It’s going down into Satan’s abyss
Seeing people on their phones non-stop
We’re just clicking our way towards naught
We, like weeds, grow on…these seeds of greed won’t stop
Spreading across the planet that burning so hot
With a tendency of losing control
God will forgive the unattainably-annoying fool
My bad, I tall too much, do I?
Deep inside, I want to cry –
Why does the world not understand His wisdom?
Has the world become numb and dumb
In its understanding?
Don’t watch me in my crash landing
Don’t watch me in my crash landing
I need His fairness treatment right now
I need His wisdom from on high somehow
Tough luck to the future, left untold
I’ll not be shy anymore…I’ll, for once, be bold –
God’s Word is made of the finest…gold…
And no debate can tell me otherwise,
For I seek not fools, but the wise
