Brother's Keeper

Read the news
Deaths and starvations
A mind a man could lose
All for the pride of nations
Children playing in the belly of fatality
Women under the knife of circumcision
because of education with no morality
An oppressive future is envisioned
The seeds lay dormant in the minds of a child
The blood on his father’s hand will seem mild
When we see the poor
Do we hunger at the grocery store?
This old earth can feed all of Man
But the corporations have a whole another plan.
Now the God loving man throws his hands high!
Says where is my Lord? Oh, how can this happen?
Why do you God, Almighty, let the poor die?
Let women suffer?
Let man slay man?
Why are the swords not plowshares?
God looks down at man, maybe with a tear in his eye.
God bites his lip and mumbles, “why does man let man suffer so?”
“Are you not your brother’s keeper?”
