When making a difference is a must,
We all offer different points of view,
As it relates to what we choose to do,
While making the statement "IN GOD WE TRUST."
The righteous are supposed to be the just,
Although they all sit in separate pews,
Giving honor to their creator who
Turns ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
Some "leaders" form individual pacts,
Preaching the morals upon which they draw.
Morals meant to govern the way we act,
Taught to them by those who leave them in awe.
Those responsible for teaching the facts.
Those responsible for using the law.
