Sleeping Dogs

The unknown is always buried Life is always hurried Laziness is not inherited A man of color is still much hated Is trust jaded? Will Saddam Hussein ever be charged? Ask Bush if Osama Bin Laden will ever be captured. Will the truth ever be told or exposed. Peace in this life time will never be pursued. Children of the millennium seem dazed and confused. Why does America allow drugs in but don’t help the abused. Has democracy disappeared? Is the existence of Alqueda or terrorism what’s really feared? Let sleeping dogs lie, don’t let them be awaken. Because the wild can never be the tamed. Fools and criminals are never ashamed. Psalm 139:11-12 If I say, 'Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,' even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
