I Am That I Am

I am that I am 
Only God can save my soul 
Cos my trust on humans
Are shaking
Selfishness remains obvious
While greed never disappear
From man made creation
This was before my time 
The rule of money only keep killing the poor 
This story never change 
Sometimes I wonder 
What good my poems could bleed 
Cos is certainly certain that 
I am that I am 


I am that I am 
Only God can save the son of man 
In a cold world
Cos Everyday Sims the same 
The world keep going in circles of problems
Is difficult to plan this days 
the calamities of our yesterdays
Remains relentless on our everyday life events 
Sadness is never old today
Wars are still trending
And my pen still bleeds 
No wonder I can't change 
Cos is certainly certain that
I am that I am

Richard, a deep write, well done ! We have little control over the actions of others, we can only control what we do, and that is enough, Constance
