Walking the path to destruction

The mind set of this world 
has lost all sense under humanitarianism 
which beggars a belief system to function properly 
As the suffering has increased we become prisoners fighting for the lack of charity to speak 
Understanding righteous in today's government 
our mission is to promote sacred doctrine 
that which houses the welfare of our people past and present 
Our future as it stands as humans looks bleak 
so many suffer hate by promoting unholy vices 
Perfection is not in mortal man to begin with 
it comes from the love of God 
Forgiving our wrongs and making them right 
wisdom has many shades and colours to draw peace

A sincere, faith-centred reflection on a troubled world and the need for compassion, moral responsibility, and peace. The poem speaks with conviction about human imperfection while locating hope in divine love and forgiveness. Its closing image of wisdom having “many shades and colours to draw peace” is particularly warm and inclusive.
