THE SPIDER CRAWLS
Are you scared
Or do you not fear
The other man
With all the gear
Do the weapons
He carries with him
Make you feel nothing
Or can you see a light dim
Do the miles a way
Keep you light at heart
Do you believe it can
Draw closer, not so far apart
The TV shows make it seem surreal
The fighting the killing are most real
The bullet that entered that young man’s heart
Most certainly touched me, made me fall apart
Do you believe it can happen to you
Or do you think it is only there
As we watch those beheaded and die
What about the guns going off everywhere
Do you have a place to run and hide
Or do you believe in standing strong
Our nation once so strong now
Parting, fighting all day long.
I pray for our souls every night
I pray for peace and humanity
I fear if we don’t stand strong for all
We could be the ones pleading oh please.

Ugh, spiders are horrible creatures. Very interesting poem . . . All we can do is watch in horror and hope for the best. I fear my faith in humanity has long diminished.

Well done, Terry. Unfortunately we as a country are not taking tough situations serious enough. I haven’t a clue as to what the answer might be. Maybe we’ve been complacent too long and now we’re too late.

I actually think it is nearing too little too late, but God can help. The problem is getting everyone to stand together and think and believe the same thing; thus bringing power of the people, then the almighty will help those who help themselves

God’s power is the only thing that can save the world at this point. His love for all of us. But, we have to do our part. I’m wondering what happened that somehow the United States continues to put our nose in so many places and now we’re leading the enemy to our doorstep.
