Image for the poem earth

earth

 
wilting in the dryness of dread
a cruel world with everyone smiling
I always wonder are they lying
they have no sorrow
or are they actors on a stage

how did I get left out
I didn't get the script
I'm just getting through life
missing the secret cues

that say smile now
cry here this is an acceptable time
cut the grief you should be done
oh forget it you should be happy
ignore the foreboding feeling in your gut

when kids aren't safe today
cause our women are targets
because our beautiful earth herself
seems ready to evict us all for treating her bad

I sink into revelations
it never lied it said there would be no peace
if I feel deep sadness it is my reality
it is my empathy for our Father

I asked him today was sure about the free will thing still
I'll let you ask him what his answer was
