Today

Well today I awoke

To sound of stillness

It was too dark for any soul to be awake

As I lay there going through the day's schedule

I wanted to not care anymore

Hoping today would be the last day

I wanted to know what good thing

Jesus did in their lives

What great word they had from the Lord

How God was working today

It's my addiction

How I wish it would rather be a smoke

Or another sip of wine

Or maybe some weed

The scribes searched the scriptures hoping to find God

I search people who say they've found Him

But when I'm alone

His word is almost detestable

That thick book, with its obscure meanings

Who can understand it

I have swung to the other extreme
