Busy

Yesterday I saw a family without a father
it was a mother and two children,
but the third was stolen

she screamed help
and the people she could help
but only one turned to here

and no one could stop the villain
after all were still busy
I hear the song of the call

to help the woman with children
they were in agreement with the words
that all of them would have helped

but were still busy ...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

sadly, a good description of how busy we become to even help others.
