Start Over

Start Over

A Poem by JustZo

Start Over


In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth

It's safe to say that we created the hurt

Torn between everyday selfishness & sought after selflessness

Maybe He should just start over


He created man in his image

But we created the system to give power to few, blind many, and kill all

Maybe He should just start over


He formed the fish in the sea

But it was us who misconstrued the birds and the bees

To form our own natural order, we became Him

To justify our humanness and imperfection

Maybe he should just start over


I created a jail cell for the righteous thoughts

That were manifested in the mind of an ordinary mad man

One idea can change the world

One word can send a life down the right path


Just maybe I should start over

And live this life in service of love

If love can conquer all, it should consume us

Be our first weapon against the injustice and unfairness of the world

I ain't did much of this lately, so maybe I need to just start over
