There seems lately to be catastrophe
Awaiting for us at every turn
When will we ever stop
The existential freight train rolls by
Jesus gave you his sandals …put you on the right path
But, you threw them away …in exchange for your pride
Saying, you’ll not give them away
Because you like them for the style
But they’re just not your size
…smell the roses, drink the coffee and learn,
Short cuts to nowhere
…are just ploys…
Sent overnight mail
...by the master deceiver
To devil may dare
…and you’re quick to reply
Playing the shell game
with your debtors
Until …they play you
the same way
Blind others, to your games …sowing confusion
Until, you finally admit to yourself
…you are blind
Calling yourself a chef
by adding flavor packets
…to food that’s delivered
…doesn’t quite get you there
someday, you'll find...
Faking the flavor …doesn’t take you anywhere
And unless you stomp on it
… doesn’t fly
In the holy wars …we’re just the beginners
Some people actually care …enough
…to lay down their lives
And will live everyday …giving for the needy...
The too old, the weak… the meek
…and those who gave service
Wounded …for the cause
…of a belief
The world was not too lost
…to save
Saints …versus sinners
…and we’re just decoys
Just in the free moments
We have spent together,
We have fallen in love
Not just to keep from being alone
If you don’t know by now
What it is that you want?
I cannot help you decide
We will not have long
To attend to our fantasies
Before our time has come and gone
When all the while reality
Is calling to us,
So take heed before our signals
Change from green to yellow
And all our yellows turn to red
Or we will have to wait until
After they change
Back to green again
When will we ever learn?
…it’s not polite
To poison your foes …in a treaty for peace
+to… hobble and maim, under the guise of relief
When you meet a new world
…to conquer…
You who would …explore their weakness
Weaponize …Christianity
With the most deadly tools in our collective history
Bringing to bear …the full arsenal
Of evil minds… set for the task
…to renew the battle …of total war…
Enslave …torture and kill…
Turned against …all humanity…
By some mistaken view
…we are inherently separated
By caste, intellect …or races…
When will we …ever learn…
Not to continue
Time… past, future
And now, again…
And again
…down the path
Down
…into the mouth
Of the vortex…
Draining our good fortune
To rot and spoil
Until all that’s left
Will not even sustain
Who’s last right
Will be… found
Lost
And
Deranged
As all is
Past the point of no return
We have
All been tossed
In the garbage heap…
Of lost toys…
Played for keeps
With liars, cheaters
Rapists and murderers
Running the game
As we all
Finally lay together
In peace
Are all …on the battlefield
Casualties of avarice
All…
