On The News Today... Chip away at me all you want Make it seem I have no way out Build the wall higher than I can climb Tar the roof to make me slip and fall Green with envy enshroud your heart No matter what I will prevail A tree, a leaf, a branch, I will lift above it all All these man-made regrets to divide Shackles of broken glass revealed to naked wrists Bleed, you say, until youre numb Feel the pain of the constant bad news stream I will prevail, I say, not give into the cycle of the pitiless Broken souls, I think they are, those that raise up guns Behead to get ahead is the mantra of the day Lets Roll, said the man on that ill fated 9/11 plane Rise above it all, rise above it all God grazes on a higher plain My shins are shredded from climbing over fences A stew boils underneath Some will attack and say by not tasting it with a spoon I am fleeing into ignorance A redwood tree survives the fires With bark that protects its wooden heart At the tippy top looking down And when we crane our necks up Majestic is the panorama that meets our gaze For moments at a time we smell no flames Does God forage in the bracken? Are we not splinters of His mind? I rise above not to forget But to remember What the world looked like before the ravages of man
