Change Must Come Within

Humanity must get in touch with nature in order to pr ogres spiritually.
Nature; do we appreciate God's artistic beauty.
In society we are preoccupied with "getting and spending."
Is our natural resources descending?
All our future problems are from our past.
Evil's shadow is starting to cast.
Government is full of lies and anarchy.
I believe that is why our economy is full of so much animosity.
As our love ones die so shamelessly in Iraq we still get no help or apologies.
My soul tirelessly drifts but  I pray for hope and a new direction.
May God have mercy on our nation.
In these times of solitude and despair.
I love and have faith in God so I will not live in fear.
My spirit feels so complete and free.
Every day, moment, or second I pray for peace and harmony.
If we are looking for change it must come within.
