Rant

2781

Who's who in the zoo

 

Times they are a changin' 

 

"Was ist das?"

 

Don't throw the bathwater out with the baby.

 

It's all a little crazy.

 

Welcome to the puppet show:

 

Are beasts out to devour?

 

Are the times a changin'?

 

Who brought us to this hour?

 

Have they always had their lot?

 

Welcome to the puppet show; mercy, they ain't got..

 

Sure, it gets lip service,  always a righteous cause..

 

As we pause, and proselytise; screaming of injustice..

 

The conductors of the chaos, live a life of comfort!

 

Who suffers in regimes change; the body count; Don't lie. 

 

Turn off the money tap: caught in a trap; said the spider to the fly..

 

Who suffers in regime change?

 

I bet it's not the few.

 

I don't need to spell it out; what is, knows what to do...

 

Has evil always had its way?

 

He knows his time is short.

 

But a game played in eternity, is a different kind of sport-

 

Only one has the answer; who am I to question, or complain. 

 

All I have is first love, His connection with the pain: for what can we do for our sisters and brothers, persecuted in foreign lands?

 

 

 

Bruised for our iniquities 

Rising with the slain

Love covers a multitude; 

To all evil; only shame.

    This collage of sayings some altered for effect cast a mood of suspect and suspicion leading one to be warry. A lovely write
