MY LAMENT

By Jim Randall

People what did you do?
The men and women you voted for,
Are their promises to you
Making your life more abundant?

People why did you do it?
Don't you value your freedom?
The founders gave you, in the constitution.
Freedom GOD gave you in Jesus.

People what are you going to do?
People I ask, "did you vote for them?"
They say, "NO"!
I didn't vote for them!

People didn't vote for them, they say.
How did they get elected?
Were ballot boxes stuffed?
Or was it absentee ballots.

People why are you struggling?
Are the promises made, being kept?
Things missing on grocery shelves.
Is this the promises they made?

Could it be a supply problem.
We are told there is no shortage.
No one available to transport goods.
No one wants to work.

People where is your work ethic.
GOD inspired Paul to write.
If a man does not work.
Let him not eat.

Some people don't want to work.
There are government programs galore.
Government handouts are the way to go.
Government even gives you a cellphone.

People why is this happening?
Gas keeps going higher.
Every week grocery prices are higher.
Every where I go, the prices are higher.

People don't you know, it's inflation.
Those elected have many excuses.
The fact is, there is too much money.
Government spending is out of control.

People why are you cutting back?
It's like your paycheck is shrinking.
You have gotten used to a carefree life.
And now you have to get by on by less.

People, will you get used to with less?
Don't blame the politicians.
After all, you voted for them.
Will you change your vote.

People, who will take care of you?
GOD feeds the birds.
Clothes the lilies of the field.
Will he not take care of you?

People, I feel sorrowful.
You trust those you elected.
Why don't you trust GOD.
Or is it too much to ask.

Woe to young mothers with babies.
Fraught with worry, are you?
How will you feed your infant.
Why is there no formula available?

People, you joined the crowd.
Who voted for those who promised you.
To live in utopia and paradise.
But you sacrificed the carefree life.

People you are like.
The mob of Israelites of old.
Who could have saved Jesus, but cried out!
Free Barabbas! FREE BARABBAS!!!
