Why Can’t We Refrain From:
Gossip that hurts us
War that kills us
Hatred that divides us
Revenge that destroys us
Prejudice that separates us
Selfishness that defines us
Greed that impoverishes us
Corruption that demeans us
Egoism that dominates us
Because sin defines us

Love has mysterious powers
It makes cry
And makes laugh again
It makes meditated
And makes fallacious again
It makes rich
and impoverishes again
Love
It’s low spirit in enjoyment of existence
And superpower in the amorphous

The world teeters on the verge of self destruction
As humankind devours human kindness
In missions bereft of conciliation construction
Which rebuilds and fields flowers of happiness.
The world withers amid self deceit
When humankind withholds warmth
Preferring to promote self conceit
In the midst of love and laughter dearth.
The world impoverishes dishes
Teeming with understanding and empathy
As humankind extinguishes species of fishes
Whose bowels and vowels spell sympathy.
The world teeters within an ace of insanity
When technology metamorphoses into a weapon
Primed to wreak fabrics woven in human dignity
Disintegrate as revenue at all costs becomes the only business reason.

I seem troubled by many questions regarding
this existence and it's purpose that enriches or impoverishes lives;
from joyful birth to dreary death one goes rambling
through phases either happy or sad that cling to the cortex of memory;
and whenever loneliness revives them with images,
one thought comes to mind: we are constantly wrestling with destiny.
Why are we condemned to die, knowing no love, only hate...
destroying whatever is beautiful with no greatness to achieve?
Why was death cast upon us? These rebellious minds must percieve
another reason why God gave us the good laws we shoudn't forsake.
Even happiness is a concept not easily realized, it can be achieved
with deceiving schemes; it'll be delusional and too short-lived.
There's a false Heaven we see through a telescope of allusion:
it's promised by Satan doing what is wrong to defy God's intention.
Why are we condemned to die? Doesn't this thought frighten
us thinking of life's briefness and the time we are given?
Why do we resent holiness? Do believers have a scope?
It's their faith and trust in God: two reasons for hope!

Excessive accumulation of material wealth, impoverishes the soul to the degree of moral starvation!
