CAUGHT IN OUR OWN WEB OF DECEPTION
Words shouted in anger
while shaking a finger at the rest;
small groups banding together
shouting they are right, they know best,
supreme human beings
stirring up a hornet nest...
Each crowd more right than the other,
each one for their special cause
making us all segmented,
we're running helter-skelter
with no one taking time to pause,
to look at the whole picture,
each group blaming the other
until it is father against son,
brother against brother,
sister against sister
and daughter against mother;
nation against nation,
doctrines against church
with no one taking time to see
how much this really hurts
or to assess all of the damage
that has been already done
by twisting, binding all we have
in the tangled web we've spun
where only fear, confusion reigns;
who, what do we believe,
trust gone; by our own lies
we are continually deceived
and we shut our eyes and shut our ears
to the lessons of history.
It is written. We've been clearly warned
yet we ignore the call...
our life, our hope is found in God.
The writing is on the wall
yet few will read or understand
or make any connection,
too deceived by lust and greed
and the web of our own deception.
