fury

 
taking the pulse of the Earth

I look heavenward and wonder what the hell?

disgruntled children in the land of nod act out
with smash and grabs, riots, murder
tornados on the ground for two hundred miles
the fury and wrath felt

but what the fuck?

inside myself I shake my head
the world keeps turning
as atrocities happen all around
we are told to look the other way and say we're blessed
but I wonder if it's kind of a game of bait and switch
diversion tactics to keep our minds off what's happening to our fellow man

can we do something to change things?

can we?

I rise up inside myself, with my soul rise up and out
I will find the cause of this madness

is the problem inside us?
or are we lying to ourselves and this is hell not Earth
