To Be Blessed

To be blessed 
May the Lord Almighty set me free
To peacefully pace in His island’s lee
When the vice storms in a lusty surge 
And Eden earth is thrashed with its scourge  

When ethics to the right, to the left, adrift 
 And loosely swings in the tiring rift  
When trains of thoughts on logic cease 
And apothegms of love are trampled apiece    
                                                          
When war and war and war and no peace 
And themes of strife are the best release 
When peacemakers procrastinate
And terms of truce wholly terminate 

When vacant words are in phoniness drenched                       
And policy pageants of the world are clenched 
When nations forswear ingenuous deeds
And on travesties their heartache feeds 

When hearts are sullied by Lies and Sins
And eyes deny afflicted beings 
When stingy hands, know none to lend
And on vagrant feet sufferings descend

When man misdoubts “where is the Lord”?
And “when will He drum his heavenly chord”? 
I pray to the Lord to set me free
For a blessed soul, I wish to be
