Free Will

A new year starts

Already past the one week mark

More covid news spark

A las the earth is round filled with daylight

The stars fill the gloomy dark sky

Loneliness and demons are out tonight this year

So much rage and children dying scattered through out the page of news

I  cant believe it all to be true

Couples committing suicide

Husbands ejecting with their families from the earth life

It makes me cry

Yet I dont see the whole picture of the puzzle

God knows best yet free will is in this kind of life

We were not meant to be robots

Yet we are on the checker board of good and bad

Were we meant to help the balance?

I see red ribbons on green trees

Sparkling purple and hues of left over Christmas light dreams

What are the tastes of your childhood?

Mine are Calbee's shrimp chips and Martinelli's apple juice

I miss walking through the park with you

Sometimes we reach the end of the chapter

we dont say good bye

he sends me a text

i know its not healthy to connect

some get happily ever after

some are stuck in this beautiful nightmare

the new year is here

new resolutions can be made for a life more fair

A life less sad without a tear

We must choose to be stronger

Listen to the divine wonder

Are we destined to live Ground hog day

Or are we brave enough for the change

a more  peaceful way

we have more office buildings then home

homeless tent communities fill the road

the politicians think there is improvement known

I dont see

I see the cracked pavement streets

The gunshots in oakland robbing you and me

I see us distracted with football games and broadway plays

I know its fun

there is still so much to be done

people should have homes

people should be able to cross the street without a light telling a driver to stop

we ban abortion for the women but other countries order shoot to kill law bills

I never understand still

the things we decide out of our own free will

who decided we must work 9-5 for a bite

who decided we must have unpaid lunch time

why is our world such a strange life

the more I grow the less i know

All we can do is try

to make it less sad

This is my resolution

I know its needed without confusion

we must be brave to start the revolution

for love of the human race

before covid wipes it all way

we build houses to sell for a million dollars still

why not just give it all away

we can't take it with us to paradise

so maybe we can make earth more nice

with our God given free will

maybe you dont have to be royalty to live like a king

God didnt require us to be college degreed when He breathed life in to everything

He freely gave us Winter, Fall, Summer and Spring

On the other side the sunlight brightens our broken earthly wing

She is still here like a diamond sparkling

Ready for us to be brave

break all the barriers preventing us from love

in this new year as we begin this winter we are still

while so much awaits with the change for peace that could be made out of our own free will.

You question many things. The answers should be simple. A world controlled by profit blind the leaders.
