Poem
I walk outside and I see chaos People killing people War between the nations And war in our own backyards Kids exploding at school And destroying our young life Destruction all around us The lost innocence of people Where has it gone Who can we trust Our security has fallen away When we can’t turn to those sworn to protect us Who can we turn to Money won’t get you anywhere You can’t buy yourselves out of this world Will money keep you safe Not when people will kill for money Afraid to walk down the street The innocent cry with sorrow Wondering what they have done Being suppressed in an isolated society The kids being killed for no reason Is there anyone to hear their cry’s To deliver us from all this disaster I pray, Lord keep us safe Keep us in your hands And watch over us Put an end to this chaos Can’t watch the news Hearing the violence of the world In a declining society of integrity What happened to the morals we were raised up with Generosity has become a lost art How can we live Watching and looking over our shoulders There’s no unity in this nation Why can’t we all get along Do you have to carry those guns And those knives that kill Do you see what you’re doing Are you that blind to see Afraid to walk down the street The innocent cry with sorrow Wondering what they have done Being suppressed in an isolated society The kids being killed for no reason Is there anyone to hear their cry’s To deliver us from all this disaster I pray, Lord keep us safe Keep us in your hands And watch over us Put an end to this chaos Put your weapons down Look into the eyes of those around you Can you feel their hurt Would you want to take an innocent life Realize you can’t live like this Be the first to start a new Help a friend and brother in need Help each other find their way Change the way you think Be reverent of life So put your pride out of the picture Stop the killing and the hurt Afraid to walk down the street The innocent cry with sorrow Wondering what they have done Being suppressed in an isolated society The kids being killed for no reason Is there anyone to hear their cry’s To deliver us from all this disaster I pray, Lord keep us safe Keep us in your hands And watch over us Put an end to this chaos.
