To This Earth

I was born to this earth
if we are born into sin why does God keep creating birth
save my soul for another day
but the tests you put me through are already under way
I believe in a higher power
you will too when you witness the meteor shower
It will destroy the fabric not of our nation but existence 
when it comes to hate and war I will be a witness
but not the first not to run and tell
to get out of this American hell
no I am not going against our country
throwing food away when people are still hungry
when it comes to the right thing to do we may never get it
and when we do the right thing there is always a f*****g critic.    -TA
