I ask if you love them
You say, “How can I?”
“I am only human”
But we are called to a higher place
To love everyone
I ask if you felt whole by them
You say, “How can I?”
They always get under someone’s skin
But we are to look into our own eyes
And pull out the planks
People change like every season
Broken promises like leaves
Fall like Mother Nature teasin’
We crush them with our feet
And walk forward
Where’s peace and justice?
I am not really sure
I just see evil persist
But when the leaves fall
They will return to the Earth
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
