As the Night Tarry On

As the night tarry on, I sit by my table with pen in my hand and my shoes on, Stitching and sewing with needle of don't give up and thread of you can make it, I just thought about the world that's going Helter skelter, If only we hold hands together, We could make it better. Kids dying of starvation, Mommies becoming childless because of abortions, What a world, we always speak of corruption, But to leave them is not even our intention, We speak words that set Hell chaos loose, We run no competition, But we pray for others to lose, It's 3:00 AM, But the rooster has not crow yet, Running our mouths like a raucous jet, Helping others can't be on our agenda, Making money is our key agenda, What a world, Eloquent speeches but different deeds, In the assembly we sow not a seed, In public places we stand with pride and recite the apostles Creed, As the night tarry on, © Gabriel T.
