The Message
Copyright 2012 by P. Newman-Harris
I heard a message so clear
It was like God had placed his lips to my ear
Why is it so hard for us to comprehend
The messages that have burned in the heart men?
Diana said we could make the world a better place
If we reached out and touched somebody’s hand
We still did not understand.
Michael’s message in Man in the Mirror
Couldn’t have been any clearer.
You have to start with yourself
Before you can love someone else.
People all over the world
Sang “We are the World”
“We can make the world a better place just you and me.”
Still we didn’t see.
We don’t need an "a ha moment."
To understand why these messages were sent
Man has tried to succeed in every arena
He’s tried to make the air cleaner,
He’s delved the depths of the sea
Made the seemingly impossible come to be,
Soared into outer space
But he still can’t resolve the issue of race
A lack of trust
Still separates us
What good is it to have intelligence of mind
And still remain blind?
How many more years will go by before we realize
What is right before our eyes.?
As I pen these words,
I’m only repeating what I heard
These words are not mine
God simply wanted me to let you
know, we’re running out of time
