Back In My Little Town

There is so much unrest today as things now come to an edge As everyone has something to say of the memories we dredge So as I step back and look around I see such anger and sadness Built upon unstable ground now it's all become just a big mess Neither side willing to give in as our children look from a distance It's all really such a sin, the lose of a loved one being so immense But no one is able to see the pain for the anger has so taken hold From all this what shall we gain and finally come in from the cold I have no opinion or answer as I have not walked in their shoes But I will not stir this pot as I see night after night on the news Yet with no true leadership in sight it only leaves one other way The only way we will win this fight is if we all sit down and pray No problem is too great to Our Loving and Merciful Lord above Prayer kindles a special trait one that will fill your heart with love So sad to see any life so tragically taken remembering each by name That these lives would be forsaken will only add tragedy to the shame Galatians 6:2-3 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
