Society

Sometimes I sit back and look at society as a whole ..
how it is spiraling down and how people have turned so cold
desensitized .. to the truth in their own religion
they've lost faith in the Word, and bring apart our division
Now I speak this true, my depth of faith isn't as deep as should be
but when you look around nowadays, it's non-existent in some I see
All the wars and terror, the pain and dismay
the hatred and venom, that people keep putting on display
Afraid to have our children play outside during the day ..
for fear of the "gang bangers" on the street
We keep our kids nestled close inside
and then wonder why they are engrossed with the t.v.
WE need to make the environment a safe place for them to play
so that they can spend their fun times, outside every day
It's getting to a point though, where we fear looking at someone wrong
for fear or retaliation, just for looking at someone too long
Looking over our shoulders, as we are walking down the street
in unknowing angst, for something that we can't see
See a bunch of kids, hanging on the corner in front a store
cross the street without realizing, and feel their motives are impure
It's something that we are building, and tearing down at the same time
it's a sad future without our help, this is when we all must shine
So put our heads together, and let's stand up for the future leisure
let's work hard for our children, so they have a place to play pleasure
