Analysis of Faith
Raymond Crocco 1960 (Mississippi)
Have you felt the pain
Of a world gone insane
Clouds all around you
Days Of many ensue
The attractive eye warns
A rose bush has thorns
Optimism proposes
A thorn bush has roses.
So in these days of odd
I believe the lord thy god
Have you felt the pain
Of a world gone insane
