The Veil is Lifting

By Andrew Messner
September 23, 2018

People walk

People talk

People gather

Around the block

They share their views

Of the world

At night they snooze

Frightfully twirled

In a bundle

Of anxious thought

Will I retire? Probably

Not.

 

People sing

People dance

People long

For romance

In a foreign country

Or on the moon

It doesn't matter

Just sometime soon.

 

People laugh

People play

People smirk

As they say

Life's a Tango

If you do it right

Now dance

Dance away

That urge to fight!

 

People cry

People mourn

People fall

When they're worn

I'm on my knees

And can't get up

Help me God

I've given

Up.

 

God breathed in

And out he sighed

Relax my child

The veil is lifting

The truth is coming

Tides

Are shifting.
