Today I can truly say I am blessed
As for my days past
I must confess
I have felt much less
For when the sun rises
It rises on the just
As well as the unjust
And when it sets
It sets on everybody and everything
For there are good days
And there are bad days
And there is no room for complaining
Because it serves no purpose
And solves no problems
There are wars and rumors of wars
Gang violence, crime, and murder
Ring out all over the land
Even terrorists
Have gotten a little out of hand
Disease stricken countries
And mouths unfed
People walking the streets
And children don’t have a place
To call home
The elderly are weary
And can’t rest their feet
How can this be
In a world full of the blessed
Because they have turned their backs
And cared much less
We must stop and think
And act on this quest
And ask “God” to help us
Undo all this mess
We walk in the darkness
And all the foundations of the Earth
Are out, of course,
Self-centered, selfish, greedy,
And destructive
It is time we must pray
And get out of the way
“Let go and let god”
For there are some
Who do believe
That there is a Heaven and Hell
And all is not well
And one day
“God” will even the score
And close the door…
