Not So Promised Land Poem by Haley Revell

Hey,
I bet you think I’m wrong
Hey,
I bet you think I’m not that strong
But I guess
Everyone gets a surprise every now and then
And not everybody gets along

I don’t know
What happened to yesterday,
Or why we play the games we play
I guess things have to change
For nothing stays the same

I can’t explain or understand
Can’t reach out with a helping hand
I guess it happens that way
In the Not So Promised Land

Yeah, I guess it happens sometimes
In this Not So Promised Land

I tried to make a difference
I tried to make you see
But I guess nobody
Notices a silent plea

I’ve tried to make a difference
I’ve tried to make you understand
But I guess love doesn’t last forever
In this Not So Promised Land
