The Disease

It has always amazed me
And something I could never understand
How much hate and evil
Can hide in the heart of man.

Living a nightmare
Beyond our wildest dreams
Living in times like the world has never seen
The government's foolishly opened the door
And now it's hard to trust anyone anymore.

We cannot spend our lives in fear
But stand strong united and after the shock and mourning
Dry our tears
The disease spreads far and wide
And in our midst they hide.

Fighting fire with fire
Only makes the flames grow higher
As Satan has his day
I pray with all my heart
That all hate and war will be soon swept away.
And Satan  is no more
And God will have his day.

Man has shown he can''t live together and get on
It's always the innocent who suffer most
Let God's kingdom soon become
And all hate and war and suffering will be gone
Man will finally live in peace
Forever.

Peter, you've chosen all the right words for the statement you make. All of these global crises affirm the same hard truth—man cannot govern himself successfully.
