Wake Up

We are living in a United States that is divided,
It is good versus evil and it is getting one sided.
Things we know that are wrong without a doubt we don’t stop,
One day we are going to have to be accountable for allowing these crops.

Have we gotten so big that we don’t need God in our lives anymore,
Maybe he will align with some country that loves Him, like we did once before.
We used to set the standards in which other countries admired,
Back when we followed God and through His words were inspired.

We don’t punish those that need punishing the way we should,
Instead we punish those that teach right and try to do good.
Greed has become the norm in big corporations and politics as well,
What is the price on their souls that they sell?

God’s laws the Ten Commandments are not allowed to be posted in our courts anymore,
That is because lawyers and judges have broken these and a few more.
And this makes them feel dirty and guilty and full of disgrace,
So they were removed, but one day they will still have to look into His face.

Our economy is shot and everyone higher up keeps passing the blame.
Instead of admitting what they did was wrong and confessing the shame.
We need to stop bailing these conglomerates out and let them experience what you or I would 
face.
Let them start over from scratch maybe this will put them in their place.

Sadly, there is much truth in your observation of our country's standing in the world today. I fear God may decide it is time for us to "start over from scratch." Very compelling poem, Ronald!
