You gotta have Faith

You got to have faith

but not any old kind

It needs to be true

down deep within you

To fight against evil

in this world gone astray

To spit in its eye

and wash it away

 

War and destruction

misery and strife

no way to live

a beautiful life

Political corruption,

civil disruption

Things black and ugly

All murder and vice

Moral deviation,

outraged indignation

Let’s not forget about

child molestation

Evil’s insanity

brings doom and calamity

served on a platter

in sugar and spice

 

You got to have hope

not just any old kind

but one that has faith

that humanity can shine

Don’t hide from the devil

meet ITS evil head on

and simply tell Old Scratch  

Blow it out your A*s and Be Gone!

wow, I don't read much beat poetry, you captured the flow with perfection, and it draws to mind tragedy
events playing out over and over, the realisticness of a suffering planet made worse by corruption,
is there hope, this makes me think its really an indivisual perspective. excellent work and insight
