"Where Does God Go"
Where Does God Go When The Money Runs Up
Where Does He Go When People Have No Way Out
Where Is He When We Realize that We A Really Trapped
Like Prisoners In A Jail of Dubious Invention
Although We Remain Unconvicted and Unsentenced
We Remain Trapped In A Poverty Inescapable
They Laughed At my and Sadly Shook Their Heads
When I told them I wanted A Piece of the Pie
They Closed Up Their Windows and Locked Their Doors
My Husband Was So Awfully Frightened
They Put The Goods Away and Denied Our Access
Even Though We Hadn't Broken The Law
We Came To Realize We Were Trapped and Imprisoned
And Buried Alive In A Lot of Beaurocracy
Maybe We Should Give Up, I think to myself
Maybe There is no hope at all for us
I weep for a country whose citizens feel so trapped
I pray for its leaders and I pray for their captors
Not so long ago this country was based on Freedom
Freedom Rang Out From Every rooftop and Doorstep
Now Freedom is like the little spiders that were killed
It simply is rare and hard to acheive
Freedom costs thirty dollars or more right now
and I am tempted to relinquish my hopes and obey
I didn't want to die and inherit my joys in heaven
but that is looking like what I am facing
If I loved my husband any more I would not be real
and Jesus comforts me in my solitude and pain
He tells me to take care of Theodore come what may
and I believe that I can
Freedom is no longer American it is no longer real
somewhere out there there may be a free country
but this country is not free at all
It isn't Free
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
