The Moon Like God

Inside of me Inside the heart of me And the imagination of me I look to a new world As the winter closes in on all of us And the long gray days are filled with shadows of the past Now the game is on And the poor will be required to give thanks for what little they have Thankful for safety razors and birth control perhaps The well healed among us will eat to much and drink to much And TV news will proclaim the miracle of treating the less fortunate like human beings At least twice a year Where are the Jobs congress Oh yes that's right you sent them over seas And the moon like God looks down on everyone

In the highest level of humanity must the jackal approve the hyena's diet as the hated vulture circles above, awaiting the death of all of them?... (Just a rhetorical question)... Nice writing, Michael....
