The Peace We Should Have Had

Moral decay comes from man's godlessness
Like tendrils slowly choking a country.
Man's pride and arrogance, his ruthlessness
All bring about the chains of anarchy.

A blinded people turns away from God
And what is right and wrong they fail to see,
They don't know He's the Peace we should have had.

Very well written, Cynthia, and, sad to say, so true.
