All Is Not Lost

We are in a recession
Are we a bankrupt nation?
If that is true than why are athletes still getting paid millions!
There is so much blood spilled
Our young are been killed
Now days who can we trust
Even our televisions had to be adjusted 
So much unnecessary drama
Too many fatherless kids and baby mamas 
Repeated convictions
Increased drug and sex addictions
Fear of terrorist having nuclear weapons
Why is there so much jealousies and hating
Government health reform
Alaska is getting warm
So many unpredicted and unexplained storms
The country for eight years is still at war
Does it seem like we are becoming poor
The country is stressed you can tell by all the protest
Evil and hatred has been released
It is the work of the beast
Our food, toys, health, and water is not safe
That is why we have to believe and have faith
This is a repeated circle of life and it is called history
I believe there is a victory 
His name is Jesus……….Smile
He died for all our pain and anguish on the cross
So all is not lost


 We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. 
--John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. 
--English Proverb
