Joye Atkinson Poet Rhyme

Stop the Madness

Here we go again Lord another senseless crime
Because some fool with a gun ended lives before their time
People are so angry at the things that have taken place
And a lot of people say it has to do with race
But race is not the issue if we look deep within
At some point we will realize the real problem is sin
Now the mob's turned ugly shouting things like "kill the cops"
How many more will have to die before the madness stops
People are pointing fingers trying to find someone to blame
But for the families of those who died they'll never be the same
Our country has forgotten the ones who made it great
Remind us of their faith in you Lord we can't afford to wait
Only you know for sure where things will go from here
We ask you for our country back and let us live without fear
Help us all to just step back and let you take control
Please bring us all together before we loose another soul

The Grahamburglar August 14, 2016 at 6:30 PM Sadly, it would seem things are destined to get worse before they improve. I don't say that out of despair, but I think to imply the importance of good people using their talents and skills to improve the world in whatever ways they can. I think your writing here, is a perfect example of that. Thank you for using your talent to raise awareness and encourage change. Beautifully done. -G
