How Long, O Lord?.....




by Gayl Miller


How long, O Lord
Will You stay Your Hand?
How many more sacrifices
In this blood-soaked land?

"Peace", they say
When there is no peace --
Lies flowing like honey
Will they ever cease?

PROMISING EVERYTHING
They TAKE IT ALL.....
How long has it been?
Too long to recall.

How many more lives
Will they shatter today?
Trauma-based control --
It's the American way.

How long will You endure, Lord
The lies on YOU they tell:
Unholy Gnostic fables
From the darkest pit of hell?

Pawns in "a kinder, gentler nation"
"Killing us softly" because they "care"
Leading us down a lonely highway
Taking us on our way to.....where?
