Our World

Our world is broken.
At this very moment our world is being polluted.
At this very moment a parent is losing their child.
At this very moment some kid has just lost their beloved pet.
At this very moment a child is being abused.
At this very moment a relationship is being broken apart.
At this very moment someone is being diagnosed with cancer.
At this very moment terrorists are at work.
At this very moment someone is lusting for bloodshed.
At this very moment a poor family is starving.
At this very moment a poor lady is starving herself.
At this very moment injustice is happening.
At this very moment tragedy is happening.
At this very moment heart break is taking place.
At this very moment terrible, unspeakable deeds are being done.
At this very moment awful things that no one knows about are unfolding.
At this very moment, our world is breaking.
Our world is broken, and it has been for a long time.
But through those cracks of brokenness is how the light is bound to creep in.
