    Help Them See the Light/Conversation with God

    I look all around and see things that just aren’t right
    And a voice inside me says, Help them see the light
    There are people walking the street
    Some of them all night
    Couples and loved ones who argue and fight
    Children killing children such a horrible plight
    And a voice inside me says, Help them see the light
    Lord I’m but a sinner, what can I do?
    You can tell of the things I have done for you
    What if the words won’t come? What do I say?
    Let them know how it was back in the day
    When you lived on the edge, and thought only of self
    How you took all you’d learned, and threw it on a shelf
    How you trusted your Lord and He made things right
    Just have courage My son, Help Them See the Light

    Someone needs to show our government the light. Hopefully Obama will, and pull us out of this war. Good writing!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
