Peaceful Providence

I am feeling like I am lost.
The present has become so corrupt; I yearn for the olden days.
To a time where evildoers got what was coming to them.
In an age when people held government officials in high regard.
Nowadays they are as rotten as the criminals.
In fact you can't tell who is honorable anymore.
The greedy suck the life out of the wholesome.
Pure is now impure and can never be pure again.
No matter what I will never give up the fight.
My goal is to reclaim the innocence that has been taken.
If it is necessary, I would even sacrifice myself.
So that we can have a peaceful providence
