*God,
Give me another place to look
Please allow me to turn my face away
I'm old and wise enough
To know that what I'm seeing is not right And young enough in my heart
To be unable to understand
Why this,I cannot fight?
Why do I have to walk away
My head hung in shame?
A larger force
Tells me there is nothing I can do
Buut a great force
(Lord, I believe that's YOU)
Put this gut wrenching pain in me
To remind me there is something
I HAVE TO DO..
How did this once beautiful land
We All called HOME
Become a house of concentration camps?
As they rip your children from your arms They tell them...
"It'll be just like summer camp"
"THEY" say, taking your precious kids
To large fenced boxes
With a mat and ONLY
A 15cent thermal blanket
To keep the cold and loneliness away..
When ALLL they were looking for
(like EVERY immigrant before them)
WAS a safer place to stay!
Fighting against all odds
Just to try to show their children
There can be a BETTER way..
Pieces of me are dying inside
Because I'm afraid TO RAISE MY VOICE
For These, the little ones
Who have NEVER known
What it is to be free..
In sooo many ways
One by one
We take away their liberties.
SO, actually
Father spirit DON'T let me look away
Just because it's easier for ME
Then it is, turning to face THEM
And their wrongful suffering..
The good ol' land of the free
And it's Governmental forced misery ..
Give me the strength to look and to face These AWFUL truths...
Help me find the answers
AND the inner power
To know what NEXT to do..
May this prose and poetry
Be but, just the 1st step
In this on-going
Treacherous
Yet Purposeful journey.

Amen, let YOUR Will; Lord, be sewn!
