Unbalanced News, Fearful Views
The headlines scream, a crimson urgent hue, A daily diet, filtered, skewed, untrue. The scales are tipped, the narrative defined By angles chosen, leaving truth behind. A single story amplified and vast, Obscures the nuances that forever last. The quiet triumphs, acts of gentle grace, Are drowned out by the chaos of this place The media paints, a world perpetually frayed, Where shadows lengthen...

We play and then fight I'm wrong and you're right You're happy I'm sad I'm content and you're mad You're hot and I'm cold I'm yes and you're no We go up and then down You swim while I drown I'm short and you're tall You stand as I fall I'm young and you're old You're fast and I'm slow I'm weak...

Fixed eyes No longer present Soul seized On a half-moon crescent Down the pole Up the flag War on land Winners brag Tools boxed Hands bound Horn blown No note to sound Sky rips open Lightening strikes All are counted Peace fights ...TRUTH stands Written by Trudy Schrader on 02-25-2023...

Hypocrisy and Forgiveness
This life so unbalanced It makes you laugh Hysterical feelings Beyond the pail, beyond the fail Where people you know Who committed their fair share of sins But any you make they're never forgiving And how poor downtrodden people Who may have made mistakes with alcohol and crack Are never given opportunities to come back Yet those of wealth and those of power Who fall down...

Unbalanced System
“Unbalanced system” This world is a tiring one-sided business affair This thoroughfare is a one way road! Nations jammed in the back roaring, this is unfair Surrounded by deaf ears, They endure their empty bellies and learn to bear Gazed at by the worlds blind-eye, Children put to sleep under the canopy of mortality Spectators globally, The millionaires and billionaires coax awareness Expressing...

On a tight rope Way up high I struggle to stay balanced But, you grab the rope Hoping I will fall into the net Fighting to stay afloat You keep me down Just a game to you But, my tears are real Just like the dangerous game you have got me playing...
