Rile

Today's word is "rile" ...to irritate or vex.


How?
Sometimes it seems that the whole world,
Is riled about something, 
In every corner, there are those,
Who pain and sorrow bring.

It's been this way since time began,
And man had a part to play,
You'd think in all those eons,
Compassion'd rule the day.

But we've changed not one iota,
Since we came out of the cave,
If we don't learn our lessons soon,
The consequences will be grave.

The only thing that moves a heart,
Is the deepest seated love,
It originates not in us,
But in our God above.

We must acquiesce to him,
Admit our weakness and our fear,
Learn to love each other,
Or peace never will be near.
