Some need rocks To rest bigotry upon Look down, feel taller Or throw at others Others have no guts Camp on smiles Feed on indifference Rivers of promise Golden tomorrows Our country is burning With horror and loss Buried in traditions hides Pits of immorality Walls of racism Halls filled with assets Sit in miles of doubt On hills of sorrow Growing with fear Brother, clinging to fear Differences and inequalities Hidden from having While some take all Sister, must you hate Wish to **** hope Bleaching love with hate In fear of loss Driven to please Hating race or creed Feeding in lack Altars of fanatical pride As if there's no God Walking shame to blame Taking sides with captors Tearing all apart To make what's not Life goes forward Insecurity drains hearts Feeds souls to saviors With political lies Trading guts for greed Builders of distrust Sell promises if the power Hiding cruel minds Open theirs to close ours Where is forever in now Convinced we had choices Wanting more than not Lost sight of beyond Cages of greed Built by pulpits of avarice Filled by a Congress Here now, gone tomorrow Eternal is only the universe One minute we are here Without love, there's no power And soon we die Holiness lost Revised 7/7/2019 [email protected]

Rocks or Guts
Some need rocks To rest bigotry upon Look down, feel taller Or throw at others Others have no guts Camp on smiles Feed on indifference Rivers of promise Golden tomorrows Our country is burning With horror and loss Buried in traditions hides Pits of immorality Walls of racism Halls filled with assets Sit in miles of doubt On hills of sorrow Growing with fear Brother, clinging to fear Differences and inequalities Hidden from having While some take all Sister, must you hate Wish to **** hope Bleaching love with hate In fear of loss Driven to please Hating race or creed Feeding in lack Altars of fanatical pride As if there's no God Walking shame to blame Taking sides with captors Tearing all apart To make what's not Life goes forward Insecurity drains hearts Feeds souls to saviors With political lies Trading guts for greed Builders of distrust Sell promises if the power Hiding cruel minds Open theirs to close ours Where is forever in now Convinced we had choices Wanting more than not Lost sight of beyond Cages of greed Built by pulpits of avarice Filled by a Congress Here now, gone tomorrow Eternal is only the universe One minute we are here Without love, there's no power And soon we die Holiness lost Revised 7/7/2019 [email protected]
