Shut it off!

 

Shut it off…

Shut it out!

The chaos burns

like acidic tears

upon my cheeks.

 

Shut it off!

But no – I can’t

I need to know

to see

so I can pray

and say

as much as I can

to soothe the burn.

 

Chaos is ramping up

like a runaway train

or pilotless plane.

But don’t give up the good.

We’ve already seen it

played in dramas, books and song

foretelling the end

of this great civilization

despite the voices of prophets

despite the warnings of seers

despite the efforts of peacemakers

chaos still affronts

all continents

all countries

all tribes

all neighborhoods

all families

all lives.

 

Can chaos be healed?

(chaos is a natural part of reality,

but how much violence can one stomach?)

How about climate change?

drug trafficking?

human trafficking?

healing mental health?

healing selfish minds?

 

Chaos

like a ball rolling down its lane

it will meet its end

in a violent explosion

scattering the good

generations have built

to honor human ingenuity

injected in us by God

to purpose our reason for being.

 

Men are not created equal ---

Brains filter reality according to

their organic programming,

and souls too often

are slaves to their filters

until they wake up

to the truth ---

you are only senses for God –

myriad combinations of DNA

filtering reality in this

grand hologram of wonder and change.

 

What a world!

What a world!

Prepare your water cannons

of kindness and succor.

The wicked witch

stirs in the shadows.

Why? --- for the drama of it all.

Keep the faith.
