God Say a Prayer For Our Souls

Every single day another lost soul
                              Fighting battles, no truth to be told.
                             Tears so heavy for all the lost babies.
                                Momma's baby, daddy's maybe,
                                God say a prayer for our souls 

                             Fighting for wrongs to be made right
                               Praying to stay alive another night
                              Crooked politicians tainting our lives
                                 The demise of God's creation
                                God say a prayer for our souls

                              Racial injustice not gone from our lives
                                 Racism still the root of our nation                                                                                                     
                                   How much more can we lose
                               before It's too late to right the slate
                                     the foundation of a nation
                           This world will not survive if we don't all love
                                         what God created!!!
                                 God say a prayer for our souls

I know, so very sad!! God has received the worst injustice of all from all!! shame on us for not standing up!!! And this is why I write. We trust in the lord, but don't fight for him. We fight for people, but don't trust in them!!! Funny isn't it!!!
