Concetta Hardnett Poet Prose

What

"What"

(Hook)
Call on God 
Its not hard 
Call on God 
Its not that hard 


My name is ?
And i am thirty
We living in a world 
That's so dirty
Everyday we turn on the tv
A family on the news pleading 
Who shot my son
Who killed my daughter
Who will help me through the troubled water 
No answers not a plan 
People dont understand
Its really getting out of hand 

Chorus 
What is going on
Where did this world go wrong
We had a father who love was strong 
He gave his only son
For all ,and we don't want to call
The one who will stop the fall 
Its true 
Why dont we have a clue

Verse 2 
He's able yes of course 
So why do we abort, our lives 
Dont you have the prize 
The prize possession 
Its like a grammatical correction
People out here judging by complexion
Afraid to be them afraid of rejection
Instragram be on there flexing
Living your best lie 
Making others feel worse 
So they cry 
Stop rewind stop putting faith in mankind 
 And you'll be better 
Its this thing called getting it together
What can you do 
When life throws itself 
At you , you stand 
Give it your all give it all you can 



Chorus 
What is going on
Where did this world go wrong
We had a father who love was strong 
He gave his only son
For all ,and we don't want to call
The one who will stop the fall 
Its true 
Why dont we have a clue

Bridge 
What is the problem
What's going on
Do you know the difference 
From right or wrong
What is the problem 
Whats going on 
Do you know the difference 
From right or wrong

Chorus 
What is going on
Where did this world go wrong
We had a father who love was strong 
He gave his only son
For all ,and we don't want to call
The one who will stop the fall 
Its true 
Why dont we have a clue



Repeat until chorus fades
