The Reason For Our Vitality


God is the Lord of all humanity,
And the reason for our vitality;
When we ignore Him, there's insanity,
Volcanity, lack of morality,
Senseless brutality, profanity,
That leads mankind towards fatality;

Today, we're lacking in urbanity,
Because of no open mentality.
To trust in riches is inanity.
Believing Christ needs no formality,
He's the Way to heav'n, not mundanity,
Accept it or not, that's reality.

Nice write Jo, congrats on POTD, missed this one! Must have done well in the contest! Belief is a good first step, but real faith is the hard part, sadly lacking in this world.
