How easily hope drifts away
When we forget to let things be
In our attempts to have our way
We only trust in what we see.
Surrender serves our spirit best.
How easily hope slips away
Each time our faith’s put to the test
And fear demands the final say.
For no amount of power play
Will ultimately bring us peace
How easily hope slips away
To know our strength we must be weak.
Religiosity’s a trap,
Faux piety can lead astray
We learn to dwell on what we lack
How easily hope slips away!

Thank Meredith. I am so dismayed over Christian folks settling for a political candidate and ideology that is so NOT Christlike. It hurts my heart…and was the motivation for this poem.
