SPEAK OUT
Inflation
Degradation
Manipulation
Nuclear proliferation
Financial subrogation
Speak out
Or freak out
I can no longer hold it in
Disgusted
Amused
Depressed
Eyes of dismay
Watch the drama unfold
Token tools
To fight the heinous invasion
Acts of kindness
Words of truth
Servant’s attitude
In humble toil
Adventure in the trenches
Where the true battle rages
Restless bones aflutter
Prepare for war of biblical proportions
Power of Jesus Christ
His Majesty
Potent beyond description
Compelling
To slash the veil of doom
Goal of daily focus
I urge in utmost sincerity
Look closely at what’s going on around us
Observe the shameful patterns
Resist in vigorous audacity
Stand up for righteous principle
Defy the cattle prod
Regardless of the cost
What do we really have to lose?
No human price can be placed
On our soul
