It’s a twisted world that cannot
be
straightened out by humankind
because the twist made firm and
strong
simply cannot be undone
by the good and true.
They stress and strain, pull and
tug,
and sweet talk till exhausted
but the twist simply smiles
and lives another day.
The twist elusive snakes its way
in no particular order
across the countries of the world
relentless in its quest.
Oh, yes, it ties us up in knots
and, yes, we turn this way/that
in attempts to be as once was
made
but really it’s to no avail.
There is a secret, yes, there is
to resisting and indeed
preventing
that twist from gaining ground
but I can’t tell you what to do.
If I could I’d simply say … pray.
