Bring Forth

I only pretend what I want to be
Wearing jewels and gowns with no strict poverty
Not a world with streets lined with people at night
or children digging for food under the post light

I know His power understands the help we need
to stop discrimination and unruly greed
For He, Himself, is our only hope and right
to live peacefully with wrong out of sight

He who fails to stand for what he made
may be overruled by the one who was forbade
Let not the world go to rot,
but observe the good and everything we've got

The mind of man must slink to reason
without competition and constant treason
We are one, a team, a classified unit
We must stop, think, and come together before we ruin it.
