Never before have we been so divided as a nation that we forsake friends, family and the very Word of God and faith with which our country was founded upon. Morals and and traditional family values are being challenged and forsaken and as a result, we have school shootings, more gang violence, suicide, and political fighting to no end. Let us lay down our politics and pick up our bibles... and instead of being political, let’s be biblical! Let’s do it accept to the Word and will of God. 

HAVE WE LEARNED ANYTHING AT ALL

Have we learned anything at all?
Pride goeth before a fall.

The ones before us had a cause,
Laying down their lives for America’s flaws.

Yet for justice we still are jailed.
When our so called justice system fail.

It's not about the color of the skin, 
Humanity’s the skin that we're all in.

Shall we stand by without a sound,  
while our rights are driven to the ground.

For Heaven sake, let’s make some noise, 
There's more to lose than just our poise.

Our youth are slain and dignity stripped, 
We fold our hands and bite our lip.

Instead of lessons from a text book,
Philosophies dictated, our flag forsook

Indoctrinating our youth in public schools, 
In the name of wayward political views. 

Hatred and divisions among us sown,
America's wars within, destroying her own.

Have we not learned anything at all. 
Together we stand and divided we fall.
