Today I read the morning paper,
I saw more tragedy in the news,
More school kids were shot down,
But those agencies had no clues.
Black power against white power,
All minorities want their rights,
DC has endless partisan politics,
We get tired of all their fights.
So many drugs in all our schools,
Violence and hatred in our streets,
Go online and it is much the same,
Just more rage in people’s tweets.
Home sweet home is just a fantasy,
Mom and dad yelling all the time,
Many children are so neglected,
One brother is already doing time.
Churches no longer preach the truth,
They’re afraid of what people think,
So they water down God’s message,
Raising to Heaven a terrible stink.
Too many endless wars taking lives,
Because cannon fodder is so cheap,
The elite try to get away with it,
Beware, what you sow you will reap.
Get murderous abortion on demand,
Women’s health? No, that is a lie,
Forgetting personal responsibility,
They’d rather let a poor child die.
And then there’s human trafficking,
Both babies, children, women & men,
Lives have become just a commodity,
They will sell you again and again.
What a sad world we all now live in,
Devoid of human kindness and love,
Instead of acting with some courtesy,
We prefer to demand, push & shove.
So many things wrong with this life,
I could very easily tell you more,
But maybe I’ve already said enough,
And I don’t want to be just a bore.
Thus I will bring an end to my prose,
I’ve given you enough to think about,
If you like what I have written here,
Please feel free to give me a shout.
