Start OverA Poem by JustZoStart Over In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth It's safe to say that we created the hurt Torn between everyday selfishness & sought after selflessness Maybe He should just start over He created man in his image But we created the system to give power to few, blind many, and kill all Maybe He should just start over He formed the fish in the sea But it was us who misconstrued the birds and the bees To form our own natural order, we became Him To justify our humanness and imperfection Maybe he should just start over I created a jail cell for the righteous thoughts That were manifested in the mind of an ordinary mad man One idea can change the world One word can send a life down the right path Just maybe I should start over And live this life in service of love If love can conquer all, it should consume us Be our first weapon against the injustice and unfairness of the world I ain't did much of this lately, so maybe I need to just start over © 2015 JustZo |
