I Pray For That Day
The world is in turmoil, confusion reigns
The dark side has risen, riding the wave
Altruism has faded to be bested by pain,
Consigning conscience to a lifeless cold grave.
Each to their own no place for kindness
Eyes closed to suffering, pretend it's not there
Blinkered to need, immune to distress
No time to help, no time to care.
Yet surely somewhere flickers a flame
A light in the dark to show us the way,
Love cannot be cowed, it will rise again
Oh Lord above, I pray for that day.
