The State of Confusion

Fears of wizards and witches That place the spells and puts you in stitches Angels and demons That makes you yell With swords and pitchforks To keep you in hell Kings and Queens Unlimited power Cruelty begun for untold hours Lawmen and criminals But here’s the pun Verses our mortality They both have guns Priest make the sacrifices Rabbis tell us why Mothers loving children Fathers discipline make them cry Daughters raised in fashion Away from the passions of the sons Judges playing politicians Lawyers lying for cases won Time is a gift of the living Where death is the deadline begun Freedom is worth beginning If risk is worth a son The law once protected But now we regret The law we once loved Has now become a threat What happened to the paperwork The Magna Carta and Constitution Where is God in all this disillusion A new heaven And new earth Are His only solution To end this mess and all this confusion

I think your right, TS, the end of it all may be the only solution to this chaos we're now calling life. Only God knows! I'll leave it to Him. Have a great weekend, my friend. Bill

I have to wonder if these words reflect the thoughts of people in the 1930's or 1860's. In those days, the actions of a few good men were able to right the ship. I have to hope that our times will find their own "Good Men" that will save us from drowning. Some great words you have given us my friend.

Our times are so bad. You have powerfully expressed your angst about a world, so topsy turvy, which is going to the dogs! Great writing, dear S !

A wonderfully deep and questioning poem my friend. This world gets stranger every week. Society seems to be breaking down to the selfish give me components. God bless you...

Your quest for answers resonates throughout. So much turmoil rules people's lives these days--and your poem gives them a voice.
