Have Patience

Feeling bad, that isn't good
The world's not functioning as it should
Too much selfishness and greed
Too many hungry mouths to feed
Some have too much
Most too little
Has life become like a game of skittles
The person who throws the ball
And watches as the skittles fall
Make sure they hold this power tight
And works for self with all their might
Until the day of reckoning comes
When they won't be the one who beats the drum
Then God who watches overall
The Almighty controls both man and ball
The chosen ones will have eternal peace
It's the corrupt ones that will be deceased
