In honor of National Poetry Month, I've been doing a daily poem. Today it's more of a song in answer to a currently popular song (the name of which I won't mention). This is my answer to that song. It's not as angry as it sounds...;o)

You pray to a god you don't believe in

And then you expect that plan to fly

You're lonely and your heart is restless

But you don't even think to try.

You dare God to make it all better

When you bleed and the love is gone

And you howl that life is a lock-out

But you continue to do what is wrong.

Chorus:

Raise your eyes and look beyond you

Find meaning in something new

For when life gets dark and painful

God's a friend and a savior true.

Pull your head out of the gutter

Fix your mind on a paradigm shift

Look up instead of always downward

Do what you must to mend the rift

For life is a test and a duck-shoot

You can win big or desperately fail

It's mostly in how you look at it

Whether you sink in dejection or sail.

Chorus
