World Song-A Blessing To the Outcries

I’ve been blessed enough To be protected Positive surroundings Never been rejected Never redirected No misdirection In my life to date No bad decisions That could’ve sealed my fate But my fortunate status Won’t allow me to stall, Failing to see the world as it is Outside my four walls I can and will, Still Allow myself to feel The very factors, That force The faces of fear From those That often shed Agonizing tears From angst And ravaging years Tormented, By the hands of time Forced down, Forced out, Forced to the end of the line Enslaved, By an oppressed mind-set From a hope not yet, Seen Hope deferred Depressing things To the point of, “I dare not dream” Thus, It seems The band of healing Should start with me Beaming Intensity Baring Charity It’s inherent That I help Him, her, You To be the blessing Towards a life anew For those who choose To live it So my life of privilege Should I not only accept, For self But for the world, To be well Therefore, My benefits Should outpour To the outcries To the extent That opportunity extends Starting, A non-stop trend
