Poetry

As I drive
I look through the windshield at the passers-by
Quick glances in the eyes
A story in each withheld underneath these skies

As time flies
Louder and louder grow the cries
In silence with violence or even in public, mystified

No pain equals gain
Doesn’t matter the scenario let’s not be insane

Tell me things will improve, tell me what it is I can do

Because God you are good and God you are great
Continue to give me the strength to avoid the bait

As I age I face new situations
But sometimes it’s a difficult temptation
All too often these evils are embedded with dedication

It’s battle after battle these days
Far too many relying on the parlay
Acting as if their lives are one big parade
We all need to wake up and end these charades
