‘Lost Focus’

A sample from Book 2

 Lost Focus
  
 each other we don't see
 we'd rather—
x-box, play station
 cell phone, internet, tv
 political wrongs
we don't see
 our lives so neat
 can roam any street
buy any type of meat
 a nice bed to sleep
  
 words we easily believe
whoever can lead
 trusting any deceit—
they wouldn't lie to me
  
 losing rights we don't see
 our house, our car
our bling, our clothes
 we're still free
  
 the reality of it
we don't see
 people shunned—
when they speak
 opposition—
running deep
 each dollar taken—
we're less free
  
 our lost faith
we don't see
 every commercial, every show
every movie
 God's† words are missing
  
 the seven deadly sins we seek
 without seeing our feed
our endless material need
 we've fallen
to gluttony’s greed
  
 without admitting our deceit
embarrassing flee
 a selfish need
a self-centered plea
 we've fallen
to pride's heed
  
 without ourselves to be
 for all eyes to see
for elite company
  
 we've changed our dressing
 preventing riot's heat
 a willing lie—
we've told indeed
 we've fallen
to covet's plea
  
 without covering our need
power we desperately seek
 to prove we're better than He†
 willing to deceive
satisfying this self need
 we've fallen
to lust's creed
  
 without understanding Thee†
 taking what's free
refusing to see
 we've fallen
to anger's deed
  
 without a wondering seed
hurting without grief
 striving for more publicity
trying through deceit
 anything for the better seat
 we've fallen
in the trap of envy
  
 without standing to speak
or expressing in ink
 without researching
truth's creed
 by-passing the hard road
to seek
without an honest need 
 to give a heart-filled speech
 without taking the lead
to keep freedom free
 we've fallen
in sloth's vining weed
  
 our focus you see
lost down the wrong street
 the seven deadly sins—
we've already let lead
 even if we don't believe
  
 we have a chance
to reprieve
 forgiveness He† does see
 this individual intercede
can never be a we
 in the end—
it's you and He†

(September 9, 2013)—[‘Lost Focus’ was written in 2010.] I’ve been posting a lot of stuff about our government. I think it’s important. I’m a mother of 3 and I want them to have a chance to experience freedom, but they don’t have the same freedoms I had at their age. Think about it.

At 18, they can fight to the death as a soldier but they can’t drink until they are 21. That’s just one on a long list of things that have come into play since I was young.

We elect people to represent us, to speak for us, but they don’t ask us anymore what we want, they just listen to a bunch of liberals who always want to change things and it always ends up with more laws impeding our chances to grow. We’re not paying attention. That’s the bottom line. That’s where ‘Lost Focus’ comes from.

Those who speak out are shunned, called fanatics, scare mongrels. You should see us as people who care for your rights. We are given the right to demand accountability. Why aren’t we using that right? No one would be in Washington D.C. if it weren’t for our hard work. Our paycheck pays for their SALARIES! Have you forgotten that? Just wondering….

Take Serious the trouble we’re in as Americans (at least for our children’s sake)…. I’m an American, damn straight, and proud of it!
