A Poem by: Joe David
Everything Is Just As It Should Be

 

Everything is just as it should be
(Or so I am told)
But I see young children in Osaka
Fleeing in terror
And those who could not

Everything is just as it should be
(Or so I am told)
But I see flood waters in Houston
Rising over homes
The thousands who fled
And those who could not

Everything is just it should be
(Or so I am told)
But it makes no sense to me
To say there is a reason
Makes more sense
But it isn’t the same statement

“Everything is as it should be” – AA slogan.
