I Speak..... God Speaks

I SPEAK: Heard some news, don't know if it's true, Can't believe everything you hear; People claim God's been talking to them, Really? I've been waiting for years! I'm hoping for a message, maybe a sign, I know the order is tall; Oh, how deafening silence can be, But the silence says it all I do my best to keep an open mind, I pray when there's a disaster; Just in case someone is listening, But so far, there's been no answer I try to choose right over wrong, I can't tolerate hypocrisy; If injustice clouds the issues, You're going to hear from me But the journey's been a long one, Sometimes pleasant, sometimes rough; I wouldn't want to repeat it - Undoubtedly, once is enough! I sometimes wonder where I'm going, Without a map, it's hard to know; No signposts or landmarks to guide me, I'm traveling like a hobo My worthless journey's almost over, And to tell the truth, my friend, I really don't care if God exists, I'm just waiting for this trip to end GOD SPEAKS: I like listening to Lorraine, she's a runaway train, On a broken track, heading off a cliff; She's a troubled soul, sometimes out of control, On stormy seas, she's a broken little skiff But she has a lot of spunk, doesn't buy the junk She sees in the papers and on the screen; She loves to philosophize, debate and scrutinize Right and wrong, and everything in between She's quite a character, and I'd like to talk to her, But I have a lot of trouble getting through; Her mind is always working, ideas always lurking, So I usually just sit back and enjoy the view I've listened to her thoughts, I've seen her overwrought With ideas that she likes to turn and twist; I recall a particular day I was caught up in the fray, She had me wondering if I do exist! But I still like Lorraine, though she's a runaway train, And sometimes finds herself on the wrong track; She carries my word, and makes sure that it's heard, I can rely on her to complete the task
