CROSSROADS

by Betty Jo Tucker

We’re at crossroads again, my friend.

No one knows how all this will end.

A knee on neck to horrify

with no one left to unify.

This outrage spreads from town to town

in nation led by sinful clown.

A Bible to project power

fails to make the masses cower.

Two paths emerge for us to take.

Choosing low? A giant mistake.

Think well and pick the higher one.

Don’t let a change remain undone.
