Restore Us O God

Most days are mild, sunny, and bright We thrive with breaks from the dark nights We grow healthy when we share YOUR sacred light There's little to be gained from constant and senseless strife Everyone should be born free and have a right to their rights; GOD-granted rights, not given or taken for mankind's delights May we cease from causing fear and fright May we not stall to tear down these walls YOU have opened every closet, leaving nowhere to hide We must devise a solution to this our great divide Maybe psychology has a point, but YOU GOD are totally right It's deeper than brown, red, yellow, black, and white We humans can be very cruel, feeble, and ever so evil Hurt people really do hurt other people We inflict the wounds that inflict us We sweep onto others our own dust We exercise our own desires and lust, While pretending 'It's in God we trust'. We engage in dialogue we love to discuss, But we end up with more fuss and disgust While I pray to YOU on this 7th day of August, Arise and shine O GOD! Please restore all of us. 080720PS
