Absurdity Of Time
By John Kaniecki
When the color of your skin
Judges what is within
While all religions are for
peace
And battles never cease
While we destroy our Mother
Earth
For green papers of no
intrinsic worth
Where a person sells their
soul
And money is their only goal
When we spend trillions for
war
And our veterans we ignore
When defenders of clean water
wail
And they are sent to jail
Evangelists make millions in
donations
As fools try to purchase
salvation
Where the news is drenched
with lies
A reality so few come to
realize
Where America is always right
in pride
And God is only on our side
Where the Bible is held as
our guide
And every holy precept is
denied
When we expect politicians to
lie
And follow orders not
questioning why
When most people’s knowledge
of history
Is based on shows on the TV
Where a handful lavish in excessive
luxury
As billions suffer lacking
basic necessity
There is an absurdity of our
time
And it is a heinous crime
We live in an ugly age
Where poets write falsehood
on the page
And they refuse to rhyme
There is an absurdity of our
time
