So many things need to be said And shouted from high places. This is not the time for words To fail me in my anger.
What kind of mongrels have we become That all precepts of decency Have fallen by the wayside; That codes of honor and propriety Don’t scan in our computers.
It’s now alright to load a gun Into a car and drive across state lines To prance amongst an angry crowd And wave it til someone gets ****** And reaches for it, thus providing Legal grounds to shoot him - And two more for good measure.
What kind of wimps have we become That a kid who swings a skateboard Becomes a lethal threat and hence Is suddenly OK to be murdered.
Seven women and five men Abandoned any common sense Or rational intelligence To vote that one who starts the fight Is justified in feeling thereby threatened And allowed a wanton ******.
What on earth have we become And can’t you see where we are going? Vigilante posses chasing pregnant girls And legitimate protestors. Three murderers may well walk free - One more miscarriage of rightful justice.
Changing rules so blacks can’t vote Disdaining to protect our dying planet Playing at adult Lord of the Flies.
God has turned his back on us So we created another One From hate and greed and lust We worshiped it full faithfully And this is where it got us.
Afraid to mingle in a crowd For fear that we’ll be shot. Afraid to walk the streets alone For fear that we’ll be ***** Afraid to help someone in need For fear it is a scam. We don’t answer phone or door For fear of who might be there.
No wonder we are all depressed And everyone is angry There’s very little pleasure left And life has lost its meaning. Perhaps the world is suffering From no pandemic but the wrath of God And we all had it coming. ljm
Took me a while to calm down enough to write this.
