Say a Prayer

Something's very wrong in this world I can't believe it... Have we gotten so cold Lives don't seem to matter any more Pull the trigger Someone's dead on the floor We take for granted The air we breathe Clean water and the lives it feed Injustice rules to no end While vampires fly screeching out of hell Say a prayer For the injured souls Say a prayer For the child without a home Say a prayer That we'll unite Say a prayer We'd have no need to fight Say a prayer We'll all be free Say a prayer For peace and harmony Say a prayer... Love will find a way... today...for you and me

I think on this earth we see shadows of heaven and hell. Love comes with all its favor - peace, beauty, harmony and all

I like the poem, and the title is perfect. "Injustice rules to no end While bats fly screeching out of hell" is my favorite part.

It incredible... but prayer does a lot... words can not tell you nor me or anyone for what matters... it restores builds and soars...Keep strong and well Heidi...Thanks for the support...

What great words you write..they should be on a building. More importantly, practiced. I have to keep the news off most of the time. Or else I think their interpretation of reality, is how it really is. A farce. They are in the business of ruining people. Shameful. Strange humans... Panagiota
