Systems of the world are busted.
Systems of the World Busted.
If you ask me
Things are pretty shabby
Mostly my hasty choices in panic.
Remedies of men are much less
Than second best.
Friends point in that direction.
Not members of the Faith Family.
Not redeemed.
Not ransomed or paid for.
Governed by tradition and fables.
Dear Gramma's kitchen table talks.
Sigh, and sigh again.
Holy Spirit must get
Into the package.
Showing poverty of Flesh.
Of governance
Of apparent Movers and Shakers.
Not an ounce of
Legitimate solution there.
