Let's Not Forget

Missing children, the mentally ill, and the homeless persons on the street When we are returning back to our own homes sewn up just so very neat They were once us their lives fulfilled where by force something hits them The righteous are not righteous when many turnabout face and condemn What if it was your child, I hear so many ask, but even family on you reject The government have institutions; and it is not us, that does really neglect We give our lives to the system, but of the forgotten, enough is never said As long as we are fed, as long as we are warm as we retire to our own bed Sleeping soundly never give thanks and praises for what we have received The thought of sleeping homeless, thoughts we could not hope to conceive Yet are they not the ones who suffer, just so we can live our gracious lives Was that a tear I saw when on the TV you heard of another child that dies As the most you do is put a few pennies in a charity box your sins repelled Go about your business knowing your God righteousness has been upheld Well; you just might be in for a shocker when you get to the heavens gates There’s no space for those who thought life was handed to them on a plate Where down the stairs of hell you go till it’s you who are out on the street Then you understand the look in their eyes, when on the streets you meet It’s a look, I have been here before, and now it my turn to repent, help me Because by helping you are in fact setting yourselves free from the misery God helps those who got off their butt, as gave their time and put effort in Not those who thought they are righteous, throwing a few cents into a bin I don’t wear designer clothes, nor wear gold to act as merits of my own life When those clothes or gold could give a person some food or a bed tonight So many people who claim righteousness when eating really too much food I hope all those righteous ones rush out now and feed some homeless dude He or she may well have been one of your brothers, a sister in a former life Please show compassion in your heart, and go lessen someone else’s strife
