Young Men of Wrongful Courage and Conviction
Young men of wrongful courage and conviction,
seem to plague our beloved nation.
Many of them do not successfully complete
their high school education.
Without any proper guidance from Jesus Christ,
They have no inner voice of conviction in
their troubled young lives. They seek the
wrong passage ways. Death and violence
becomes their entire world.
Without any proper sense of what happens
to be right or wrong, most likely they
will decide to become gang members before
very long. Their families and their communities
sing mournful death's songs.
They arm themselves with knives and guns
along with other methods of massive destruction.
Their imitation into gang life, often involves
the taking of innocent lives. The streets
of their cities are crimson red with
human blood.
Revenge killings of rival gang members
seem to escalate. Death without any
honor is their ultimate fate. Decent
society members need to rescue
these young outcasts before it
becomes much too late.
Love in Christ Jesus
