TOO YOUNG TO REALLY KNOW

The child sings
Barely out of diapers
Knows the cruelties
Of the world
Belts out feelings
Oh!  The oppressed
Is there any hope?
The melody slows
Goes into the blues
Will we survive?
Does anyone know?
We all have dreams
Can see through clouds
But don’t want to look
And then cry out loud

Who is to blame?
We all look away
These problems we have
Will wait another day
Wake up from your dreams
It is a new day
Take another look
There’s a flag on the moon
And here I am crying
With a mop in my hands
I’ll be dancing at midnight
In my field of dreams
There will be reconciliation
Beautiful acts of love
It’s not that bad
Farmers plough
The child sings

I WONDER

People I used to know
So stoic in their way
Continue with their philosophy 
Regardless if it means decay

Corruption is not an excuse
Decadence is not an answer
Smiles while addressing the questions
Please!  Where is the lancer

The media asks the softball questions
Easy interviews; hold back the dam
No confrontation against the obvious
Just propaganda they wish to cram

I don’t want to abandon you
So listen carefully to what I say
This liberalism stuffing is of no value
They repeat and repeat to get their way

Truth is a word rejected
But truth will not be denied
I pray these treasures will recognize, then
There would be a chance we survive
