Looking Glass

We looked through the looking glass to see what we could see We looked at mankind's history past and of the promised future that's to be We studied the pain and suffering and of all the things we brake of what peace on earth will bring the paradise of which you spake We have contemplated lives entwined with ours upon their hearts and thought the lack of tender childhood find and the painful life that it has brought We have listened to all the stories and paid attention to lessons laid considered all virtuous glories and the commands of Love you bade Even still with all we've sought perfection in ourselves we do not find instead we this accursed lot that affects our hearts and mind Seems no matter how hard we strive it is imperfection we all do we find the law of sin alive the impossibility of faultess true We sought out wisdom and foolishness found pleasure and stabbing pain our education is oft lost on us our own stupidity in mind takes reign Only one example has shown the Light of what a faultless man could be in every instance his judgment right displayed an understanding we could see If ever there was beauty to be found within a man someone must have witnessed it and showed a divine plan nothing in mankind's history has overcome his lust for war its beyond our imagination to die for Love our overture A majestic character and personality you have sought to teach with human stories with their understanding each ones heart have sought to reach James 1:22-25 COPYRIGHT © 2012 C.
