Inhumane was said  
Six million dead  
Gassed,slaughtered  
Degraded  

Inhumane we dare  
At Jeffrey Dahmer  
Kidnapper, killer
Evil embalmer  

Inhumane it read  
Black man dead  
Dragged by his feet  
Decapitated  

Inhumane we say  
A young man who's gay  
Found bound,beaten  
Left dead in the hay  

Inhumane we cry  
As so many die  
In crumbled buildings  
From terror in the sky  

Inhumane  
I hear say  
But only humans  
Act this way

Shall we dance
Take another chance

Shall we try again
With hopes it won't end

Let us dance
And dance real slow

Learn all our steps

So truly
We'll know
Bill MacEachern Sep 2016
One step, two step, three step, four
Grasping at the last rung
Crashing to the floor
Rising up again
Ready to ascend
Knowing where
I want to go
And knowing
That I
Can

Birds need a tree
As a lock needs a key
I'm a fish out of sea
Without you
  
Guitars need their strings
As a bell needs to ring
I can't sing a thing
Without you
  
Arms need their hands
As farmers need their lands
I'm a man with no plan
Without you
  
It's You That I need
And surely you see
Whole I can't be
Without you

I do declare
My time is near
The day will come
When I'm all done

I cannot climb
Nor can I run
I'm out of breath
My drum beats none

The taxman knocks
I have no more
My skin is rot
And always sore

My car's a wreck
In need of parts
I'm always stressed
If it'll start

My job's driving
The sick around
The job's driving
Me in the ground

It's very clear
My time is here
The day has come
I'm so undone
Bill MacEachern Sep 2016
Love...like religion,
Was not there
Until I met you
There wasn't
A prayer

Then the day came
A miracle too
When love
And religion
Became
I love You
