Tom Smarda Tom Smarda spent ten years during the 70’s hitch-hiking around North America, playing music from the Yukon to Guatemala, from the east coast to the west coast, in Canada, as well as the States. Exposed to many cultures, witnessing the on-going destruction of the Earth, hand-inhand with increasing poverty and injustice, inspired him to write songs which hopefully can constructively and compassionately address some important universal concerns. He believes that?we can house, clothe and feed one?another without destroying the Earth in the process for future generations.”
ANGER Why am I forced By circumstances Into this useless pain And misery, When God can so simply And effortlessly remove it? Why am I stuck Like a fish flopping around When it’s been pulled Out of the water, Except that I am Flopping around? Yes, I know that I can always consider Jesus getting crucified, And that my discomfort Is only temporary, And probably by comparison Something to be grateful for. 56
