THERE  ARE  THINGS  
I  CAN’T  EXPLAIN  

There are things I can’t explain.

Sorry. I would like to. I’ll try but

there are things I can’t explain.

Like a couple who date, get engaged,

live together, get married and then

they realize they have landed in hell.

Like I know I am a procrastinator.
I really bother people being late,

but then I do it over and over again.

You tell me I don’t listen. You tell me

you are going to do this or go there

and I don’t hear a word you said.

It’s one more lie - from elected or

appointed officials in our church or our

government and folks refuse to see it.

Jesus said it: “The truth will set us free,”

but we won’t ask questions and name

what’s going on - but why, why why?
