Reflect

We are fractured,
Fragile,
Desperate for more
Yet we settle for milk.
We live to dress,
Impress,
And repress.
Our Smiles greet
soulless streets.
Internally, we are gasping for air 
Afraid to show what’s really there.
Disaster could strike at anytime
Look at all the earthly signs.
We are always majoring in the minors,
And minoring in the majors
 Leaving doors open to eternal Danger. 
We fill our minds with wit and charm
While deafening our ears to the spiritual alarm.
Running towards a dead end
Seems to be a common trend.
Waves of nutrition
Bleed out all superstitions.
We are called to the mission
He already paid out tuition.
This is war
A kind we are not trained for.
The only fire that we are fighting
Can be found in Jehovah’s writings,
The true battle is in our head
Renew the mind with his daily bread,
This  generation has a desire
For God to truly inspire
Breathe fresh winds into our atmosphere
Give us a chance to finally adhere.
