Concetta Hardnett Poet Free verse

We Are

I look around 
Everyday 
Asking you lord 
Save this place
Save this land 
We are trying the best we can 
Please help me 
Lord protect me 
Don't go away 
Please don't neglect me 
We need you now 
More than ever 
Children ain't even make it to 18 
We need to get it together 
We need a unity 
Togetherness 
Lord we need your Angels
The heaven sent

We are living in a world 
That's in shambles 
It's becoming more 
Than we can handle 
(Repeat 1x)

There are more families 
That are mourning 
For their loved ones 
All you hear about is guns guns guns 
Nobody want to talk 
Or communicate 
They just want to shoot 
That's not great 
No more grace 
They have forgotten 
To seek God 
What's stopping 
Them from climbing up
They have the mentality 
To be stuck 
When do we say enough is enough 
My heart goes out to every one 
Whether you have lost a daughter or a son 
Or maybe a loved one 
Prayers are going up and sealed 
I pray that your hearts will heal 


We are living in a world 
That's in shambles 
It's becoming more 
Than we can handle 
(Repeat 1x)

We need you 
I'm pleading 
This world is bleeding 
(Repeat 1x)

We are living in a world 
That's in shambles 
It's becoming more 
Than we can handle 
(Repeat 1x)


Repeat until chorus fades
