I made a mistake God
a big one
I read the news
Wow
God, are we messed up
We know that you are love
We know that your priority is people
all people
all races
all cultures
rich people (yes, them too)
poor people
hungry people
homeless people
gay people
lesbian people
heterosexual people
hungry people
sated people
sad people
happy people
ragged people
pampered people
we know that you want us
to have people as our priority
but when I read the news
as I read about state legislatures
congress
as I read about the behaviors of corporations
I see that we are not
all about love
we are not all about people
we are about power
and wealth
more specifically it appears
our power
our wealth
it is not so much "us" and "them"
as it is "me"
O Lord
from our lust for power
and our love of money
deliver
us
