Poem: A Reply To People Who Ask Me Why I Care So Much About The State Of The World

A Reply To People Who Ask Me Why I Care So Much About The State Of The World

19 May, 2016.

The darkness' tide we cannot halt, 
But by gum we can stem it. 
We might not vanquish every fault — 
But by gum we'll condemn it. 
History's evil's in the past, 
And we cannot rewrite it; 
Present evil holds as fast, 
But by gum we can fight it. 
I know we cannot save the world, 
But by gum we will try, 
For there but for the grace of God 
Go I.
