Thoughts of Them
James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)
Thoughts of Them
While gazing skyward
Wondering about life
Procrastinating biblically
On current world plight
I am clearly shown
The Devils at work
Scrupulous complexions
Hiding in the shadows
Foolish parents' teachings
Dirt with murk
A world of reflections
Without corrections
I vision and reality
Of what happens next
Shows He and only He
Guides His token few
A reflection of His world
All Devils in peril, that's no fake
Something my Father hate
Changes of His Book to-date
