The bitter cloud we feel envelops us

The bitter cloud we feel envelops us
When friends are short and noone seems to smile
Is smaller than the breath of the white dove
Do we envy others who find love?
They may suffer inwardly the while
Sad, bitter clouds some days can wrap us up
As Jesus in the Garden drained his cup
He shivered, groaned, but was not filled with bile
Sheltered by the fluttering winged dove.
His eyes too wet, to see the clouds above
He felt the anguish of a lost,small child
The bitter clouds were broken by his love
The storm would fail, the prophets hear no voice
God is weeping at our human wiles
Who dwells within the breath of holy doves?
Life may seem too dark , we want to fall
The hands of God are caught in new built walls
The bitter cloud we feel envelops us
It’s self torment, it’s profitless ,seek Good.
How can the world be here, yet he is not?
How can the world be here yet he is not
While beetles, ants and spiders pass this way?
As my hungry fears I try to blot
How can the world be here yet he is not?
Whether it be cold or be it hot
No more words between us are begot
I must go through the narrow gate today
How can the world be here , yet he is not,
As beetles, ants and spiders pass this way?
Rule not Britannia
I feel ashamed of Britain and its songs
My own mixed blood will rise up and complain
The poor are slaves ; our rulers did grave wrongs
I am not proud,all hate the ones who’re shunned
We, foreign ,mixed, however did we come?
I feel ashamed of Britain and its songs
I am not a Jew,so I belong
My Aryan face and hair have caused me pain
The poor are slaves,our rulers have done wrong
The people here have spoken many tongues
English oddly worldwide in domain
I feel enraged ; oh Britain, hear your songs
Many Europeans, aid our plans
Others come from Asia where Queens reigned
The poor exploited; Britain did them wrong
We look for scapegoats, preferably unknown
We Northern Europeans set the tone
I feel ashamed , Britannia, what a song
Better sing Jerusalem with pangs
