People like to complain
About thoughts & prayers
Saying they do nothing
But what else am I
Supposed to do?
I am just a small man
Who can write poems
And hope they make
Another's day brighter
But that's not good enough
They say I'm not trying
That I can do more &
They give me a to-do list
Of what "Good people" should
Do to help - or rather give
Commands & orders - So what?
I'm supposed to become
Your soldier now?
I'm only helping Justice when
I'm your social justice warrior?
I don't even know you
And you want me to die
For your holy cause?
You're starting to sound
Like the same Church
You claim to hate
All you're really doing is
Manipulating me by holding
My conscience as a hostage
