A Psalm Of Despair

The world has become a cold place With war and violence and lies The powerful with boastful tongue Have vanquished the meek and mild Who are slowly disappearing without trace. iI's not only the powerful and rich Now everyone lies to his neighbour, They flatter with their lips yet harbour Deception in their hearts and faithfulness Faithfulness was the first they ditch. How will this all end; politician's only offer Lies that slide off oily lips who double-talk With forked tongues leading people Off the nearest cliff or pushed under A bus then jeer mock or scoffer. Churches are now empty, the cathedral's Crumbling yet all the political cathedrals Offer is half-truths and blatant lies and Even outright denials of true facts. Those Who hunger for truth and more upheavals.
