ANGER MANAGEMENT

Is God more sad than angry

At the way we treat His World,

At the way we treat each other

And the way we treat our selves.

 

We cut the trees and **** the soil

In search of wheat and coal

We strangle rivers and trash the sea

While poisoning the air we breathe.

 

We push the powerless aside

And claim what’s theirs is ours.

We look away when evilness

Controls the land we live in.

 

We shun the neighbors down the street

For they don’t vote like we do.

We relish our entitlements

Won on the backs of others.

 

I think God’s had about enough.

His sighs become tornadoes.

His tears are rain that never stops.

His mercy is now cold as ice.

 

I think we’d better all stand up

And see what we’ve become

And change it for our children’s sake

Before God has the final word.
