every morning i awaken

…..of……..funding!how many homeless shelters…..…lack…..of…….funding.how many clinics shut down….…they’re……not……..pr ofitable…..how many banks and lending institutionsdid…we…..bail…….out?what about Chrysler and Gm?how many oil companies paylittle….or……no……..ta xes?who sets these priorities?…and even more important,………why………..do………… .we……………allow……………… it?there’s more to being humanthan……….profit!

the finger on the trigger,the hand on the heart.the hatred and the forgiveness,the compassion that dares.the sacred, and the demon,the prayer and the scream.both justice and injustice,prejudice and understanding.both ignorance and wisdom,fearful, and a man.i see both the light and darkness,feel, touch, and taste them.knowing that every breath i breathe,is a choice!every night i take…

the heart dont lie, the tears you cry,the hard work of human love.look to God, look back at self,the burden’s on our backs.the future’s there, if we care,enough to take it bacK!and the worrld comes crashing down.in too deep, the fearful drown.stand up and be, or just sit down.what goes around comes around!

take their food, take their dreams,just how much do you need?equal rights, stand and fight,you got nothing left to lose.sell your children to the lie,put your heads inside the noose!and the hands on the clockcrawl like justice spurned…tick tock, tick tock,mercy gives what mercy earns!

and ice has formed on the lipsof the heart…close the eyes softly,prepare for snow…praying for the promise of spring!

light ingrained in the darkness,evil ingrained in the good.poor man ingrained in the bricksthat built the rich man’s home.father ingrained in the child,his destination, gone…freedom ingrained in oppression,moth ingrained in the flame.tomorrow ingrained in today,the nameless ingrained in the name.courage ingrained in the fearsthat determination overcomes.God ingrained in the human,left standing when all is done!
