Bitter melon

The more we go in to 2025
The less we feel the joy of life
As the fires burned all the land
The way of the USA is hard to understand
They voted in the elected felon
While all of us illegals still remain like a bitter melon
Yes we want to be free of criminals
yet they hired one for the white house
and yes maybe the crime isn’t so severe now
but they wanted the lowering of the grocery price
they thought there would be more joy to this life
do you feel it?
I don’t
I see the mundane and bleak gray sky forever more
everything is still so expensive
so many sit in the hallways forced behind locked doors
I thought with all the technology
all the powers for wars and instant messaging
there would be a sweeter energy
so many freedoms stripped away
so many insults and bullies coming out walking among us in the day
We have forgotten we are one family on this blue planet
the one true thing that is truly organic
is the love
yet we dont love each other
we dont clothe the naked
we dont welcome the stranger
we don’t remember His words so sacred
to love the enemy love our neighbor
yet we force the commandments to be posted in the school
yet humans still choose to be the fool
all this job applications
all these job freezes
all the necks the land lord squeezes
all the looting between the burning breezes
men still killing their wives
stealing their child
thinking they can get away with it in this life
and here in 2025 I dont feel the joyful butterfly
I dont feel like I am walking on sunshine
I ask God to take me away because I feel so dead inside
He wakes me up instead each day He opens my eyes
but I tell Him from this adult life i have resigned
i am ok to starve
i am ok with this broken heart
there is no more joy in this life
welcome as we start 2025
with so many tears in our eyes
we complain about all the illegals
forgetting where we all got our start
so many bow down to this highly praised felon
as we are forced to swallow bitter melon
