My Soul

One day my soul lied to me It claimed the Sun would always shine The Moon would always glow And Love would erase Hate forever For years I believed this I breathed this, digested this Everyday and every night But now I see Hate, overcome Love The skies grow dark day and night Storms and fires and people's lives Are threatened everyday And I ask my Soul "Why" Global warming, sinners, pollution Overpopulation. Too many cows Causes excess methane gas which Affects the ozone layer. Is this real? As a child, the cow jumped over the moon, No one cared about its poo. Hickory,dickory,dock, the mouse ran up the clock The adult version the Mayan clock stopped Humanity is still here! So many predictions of Humans' end I don't understand why? So many suicides,overdoses, murders,murder suicides Let's not forget the cults with the poison coolaid. 91 deaths everyday from opioids Life is so prescious. We were created to be better Than the other mammals. But we are the most destructive And self destructive mammal on the planet. We have so much knowledge to create so much Beauty and nurture and love But because of greed and power and control So much is lost and destroyed. Third world countries starving and no healthcare So many health epidemics And the finger pointers just say it's someone else's fault The homeless many of whom have mental issues Have been displaced because mental hospitals are closed As a child I thought like a child I dreamed like a child But as an adult I now know this is too much for one Soul To fix on its own. God Bless This World.
