Are we sheep without a shepherd?
It sure feels like that
Rich and poor a great divide
Women assaulted
Women died
Cost of living through the roof
Covid casualties
Parties proof
Alcohol and drugs abound
Police under pressure
Are they sound?
Social messaging oh so cruel
Bullying tactics add more fuel
Daily deaths upon the road
No longer news just how it goes
Truth the casualty of war
Will Trump return? God help us all
Are we sheep without a shepherd?
Yes it seems we are
We need a quiet wisdom
Don’t need to look too far
Come away to a quiet place
Do that yourself each day
Listen to the teaching Lord
Be still be calm and pray
Be the change you want to see
In a world so wild
Be a shepherd to those sheep
You find at your side

+ It is very easy to feel lost and helpless in these troubled times. We are fed a daily diet of woes around the world, and our own society faces big issues for social fairness and peace.
Crowds would not give Jesus any peace either in his day and sought him out in their hunger for life. Jesus advises rest and quietness for his tired disciples, but also does not turn his back on the people who seek his help. He sets himself to teach them his way of life. (Mark 6:30-34)
