Decline
Behold, Nations on a steady decline
Rebellion, war, hunger, murder, crime.
Stumbling towards the downward road
The poor always bear the heavier load.
How long will it take until People see?
Only love and compassion will set them free
Commandments are given for men to keep
For only then will earth nations reap
The happiness promised by father above
Of freedom, contentment, joy and love.
In disarray
Turn on the News
Watch our youth
Around the world in disarray
Never much reasons to think beyond self
All they needed and wanted
Always there on the shelf
Never known a reason to give
Never a reason for which to live
They shout, complain we hear them say
We don’t want these rules
That take our choices,
Our freedom away
Where have we failed them,
Where did things go wrong
Where the joy of being young?
Their spirits cry’s out “We need a reason to live”
Reasons to fight for, reasons to give
To feel wanted, needed, to do a good deed
So, they join the milling crowds in the street.
Our voice must be heart, we will not be defeated
Even thou we know at times we are greeted
By angry Police, see, in black they are dressed
To calm the crowds, to settle unrest
Our numbers grow larger with each passing day
Politicians please hear to what we say
We are fighting for justice for people oppressed
For all underdogs from the east to the west
Equality for all men they cry,
It is time for injustice to pass us by.
See: They have found a reason,
A place where to meet
With their friends and neighbours
Around the world in many a street.
I have Looked
I have looked at this world
From within, from without,
The longer I look, the lesser the doubt,
That all of her beauty is like unto a shroud,
To hide the true purpose of life.
We hurry, we toil three score years and more,
To build up this sphere made of clay.
Where power and greed, unceasing strife
Are the forces which bar,
The narrow road to eternal life.
Authority and faith are needed
To enter the Kingdom of heaven.
Authority the key, faith the door.
All our childlike fears, of carrying life’s load,
Gods angels come turn them around
And find the better road.
