Outside

Time to be honest with yourself.. 
the country isnt what we once knew. 
the  country is a scary place these days.
Peoples beilefes are no longer the same. 
God is gone and has been replaced. 
The devil is winning the game this time
Work ethics seem to be a lost art.
The migrant crisis is taking our wages and homes. 
Now they are living under our roads. 
How do you protect yourself? 
How do you walk about?
You can not live in fear, 
That is no way to live. 
Never thought I would feel this way. 
Sadly these are the days we are living in.
no one is safe anymore.. 
do you know your neighbor next door? 
Inflation of gas, food and oil  
What do we do tomorrow? 
Money is short and inflation is high
here we struggle to get by. 
The world I knew is now gone. 
Never thought I would be scared 
to walk alone. 
Wheres God when you need him the most?
Looking to the sky late at night.. 
you’ll  find Gods lessons hiding in the stars. 
Hold his lessons close to your heart 
And know you have the strength to protect yourself.
