The New JerusalemA Poem by Steve PaschallA woman at the poetry reading said that San Francisco could be the new Jerusalem.
I didn't quite agree with her so I wrote this poem:
The new Jerusalem does not exist in this world It lives in the hearts and souls of men and women That's for sure.
It's not a state or country Just a state of mind Where people work together well And treat each other kind
Nobody suffers I read that in the book
I've suffered enough I don't have to look
At my brothers and sisters Alone in the street To realize This ain't no new Jerusalem to me. © 2011 Steve Paschall |
