A View

All humanity on earth, seems to have lost their way
living a despite life, that is filled with fear and dismay

Reveal, the power and workings of a human mind
So all can realize, it's a condition of their own design

Casting despair into the mind, creates an evil stew
Feeds egotism, vanity, our Fathers word we construe

In quests for wants and wealth,  avarice is an evil seed
Grows in religiously desperate humans, into a stampede

These earthly idols, tempt humanity with this evil brew
Pray humanity is, filled with the Fathers word, not stew
