Analysis of It's Time
Here is a poem you've never seen,
I didn't write it to be mean;
I wrote this poem because I'm sad,
The news, you see, is really bad.
Ukraine and Haiti are on fire,
And Gaza waits Israelie ire.
One can only stand so much
Of war and violent human touch.
I've been in one war, witnessed four:
Eliminate God and there'll be more.
Wake up America, take a knee,
Duplicitous tongues won't keep you free.
Stay silent and you soon will face
Elimination from the race.
