A Confused World Poem by Sarah Sisson

A place of confusion, today is the norm.
The entropy has us, the roads that are torn...

...up make us go crazy, know not where to turn.
They change it again just as soon as we learn.

And lines at the store are long. Do you have ten
or less items to check out? Eleven! Then...

...you stay in the long line your car is way out
in the parking lot the rain pours from a spout.

Then you remember that your laundry is due
to pick up; you break your heel off your new shoe.

And children next too you are crying in church.
Their parents wont take them out; 'fraid you will hurt...

...the usher for ignoring this obvious, ...
...rude and unfit decision while they discus...

...the topics today that we really should share.
So we can go back out in that world; compare...

...ourselves to the noisy, the brutal and stray.
And hope that we also aren't nearly that way.
