I See Beyond
I see beyond the painted smiles of the greatest politicians,
I hear beyond the words of faulty preachers who speak about afflictions,
I see beyond the economic crisis that keeps so many in fear,
I hear beyond the trivial chatter in a room filled with endless beer,
I see beyond the crooked look when the landlord raised the rent,
I hear beyond the pickup line presented as a compliment,
I see beyond the apology when humility took three weeks,
I hear beyond the child’s grumble when she was told no more hide and seek,
I see beyond not meeting his mother too soon to avoid a catastrophe,
I hear beyond the word maybe, that means NO usually.
