What Is the Altetnative

Life as we know it makes no sense if we have no choice So what is the alternative and do we have a voice ? The world is spinning out of control with violence and death all around And the Republican presidential candidate is a racist media hogging clown Everything is off kilter and while I sit and contemplate What is my alternative and what will be my fate? How do I sing songs of joy when chaos is on the rise? How do I survive a Babylonian society and keep my eyes on God's prize? In the midst of perversity and immoral behavior My only alternative is to stay connected to Jesus my Savior When I see a white man kill nine African Americans in a church And after arrested given a bullet proof vest Yet when an ex-military black man kills five white cops He's blown up I feel such unrest Over the injustice and the inequality that is occurring every day Over 123 black men killed this year what more is there to say What is the alternative? What is it that we need to do? What is the alternative? As a nation we need to seek truth I don't condone Mr. Johnson's behavior but I understand where he's coming from Too many young unarmed black brothers Killed by white police guns So what is the alternative? What as a nation do we realize? That racism is alive and well and killing blacks is on the rise What is the alternative? How do we bring about true change? It's time for white Americans to stop acting like we're deranged We are Americans too my people have been here over 400 years Yes we were once slaves but let me make this clear We are no longer your property We are no longer your chattel Stop killing and slaughtering my people Like they're mindless cattle So what is the alternative? It's time we all develop a true relationship with God And hopefully be infused with a Christlike love And true compassion in out hearts THAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE
