Puzzle Pieces
I saw a thousand things today
powerless to impact but in little way
millions of children no meal will eat
but we can't decide upon which treat
There is no water to drink that's clear
weapons and bullets so many have fear
the leaders of religions their children molest
praise their God and commit incest
Against this system so many swear
to effect its changes way to few dare
cars and houses with sensual delight
clouds that clarity to do what's right
Countless lives passed through history
too many cannot define it's mystery
bodies rocking their prayers to the wind
wondering when will their suffering end
Those that are weak the predators prey
using excuse that they are built that way
Babylon rides the back of the Beast
we have been deceived from greatest to least
Even those who carry the true Gods name
have put the teaching of Jesus to shame
they have put good for evil and evil for good
accuse those who tell truth that its falsehood
Twenty thousand children one religion confess
fathers and elders with rape cause duress
the numbers are too miniscule I fear
this number is only two continents I hear
With pleasure and entertainment buried our mind
but our choice and voice our actions define
politicians and merchants and news forecasters
religious leaders whose influence are masters
But the finest teacher of recorded time
confessed the Truth taught what's divine
asked all mankind to consider his word
till your decisions and choices prove you've heard
The finest qualities displayed among men
could all them be found in him
yet not one among man have I found
the depth of him can equal abound
No life has any true power
without its commitment to good in its hour
I saw a thousand things in my mind today
like a moving picture on permanent display
