The Gospel told by a common man

World is going crazy. USA need to reset our goals.

                      The Gospel told by a common man


              Men with wife and children.
              Fugitive to the ability to succeed.


              With the grain of hope.
              We beckon for a trace of kindness.


              Poverty inflicts all with equality.
              Race and religion mean nothing.
              When you are hungry and homeless.


              Frigid and endangered economy.

              Erode hopes and dreams.

              Held hostage by Leaders in Washington.

              Common man and woman forsaken.
              Left on the sideline hoping and praying.


              Humph and f**k by loan companies.
              Soon Americans will become nomads.


              Wars expedite hiding the flames of truth.
              Shameless leaders beleaguer us with stories
              of Devils and ghosts.


              Soon we will will be isolated and lobotomy.
              Be like tame relics in a museum.


              Need to remove our restrains.
              Start the saga of forth-right people.


              Stop the epidemic of lies.
              Chastise the thieves and so-call leaders.


              We must lust for a good world.
              Jump over hurdles of hate and violence.
              Began a eulogy of a human race who wants
              the truth.


              We need men with mercy and wisdom.
              The erosion of the USA must stop.


              Men/Woman with blind eyes to the poor and sick.
              Lover's of War.


              Their filthy and bloody dreams must died.


               We need the human race who pass out food and 
               medicine.


                Not gun and death.


                We must elect honest men/woman who won't
                change their vote after they are elected.


                For the children. All children.

                Need to put the guns down.

                End the violence.

                Don't need tears of USA, Africa and Asia Mother's.


                For sons and daughter killed and slaughtered for
                the so-call good will of Evil men/woman.

Germany in the 1940s held similar views and turned to an erratic and psychotic leader to manage it. This and other countries are doing the same today and will pay the same toll. I don't mean to preach, and yet this was foretold long ago... "terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power." It's a sad world in which we live.

I agree James. We are on the train ride to hell. This is a old poem with the same meaning today. I have five grandchildren. I hope we leave something for them.

I think this line, " Impoverish inflicts all with equality.
Could be made better if you replace "impoverish" with "poverty"...it will generate a better syntax. Just my humble opinion. A great deal of truth espoused within this write.

As a Canadian, reading your plead for better leadership, i find it resonates here, too. Many have grown apathic, in their own responsibilities to society. Choicing to believe that "Big Brother" will fix everything, why bother. There is a role for government, but we, "the people" have to be willing to pitch in and act. Else, we are digging our graves, with borrowed time and money. Thank you, for posting this provocative poem.

You have spoken much truth, here. We as a people, not individuals must stand together as one, as intended by the Forefathers of this nation. A democracy does not exist without this action... Outstanding piece that leaves much for the readers to ponder.
