What are we doing wrong?
by Achoti Ty Battle
We see with covered or blind eyes
We speak with fork tongues tell lies
We listen with clogged or deaf ears
We cry with fake crocodile tears
We think with a clouded or narrow mind
We make promises we never keep or bind
We act hastily without just or cause
We react swiftly with little or no pause
We care with hardened or bitter hearts
We share sparingly divided unequal parts
We want while being stingy or selfish
We are helpless without being selfless
We receive without the notion to give
We needlessly die without trying to live
We are diseased despite the natural cures
We mix seeds with soil that is unpure
We know without achieving overstanding
We agree or settle without demanding
We work without having to churn or labor
We need saving but don’t know Hawa is our Savior
What are we doing wrong?
