I think of the world
A place in crisis
Murder by bullets
By knives and rockets
Or death by choking
But death by these ways
Are evil as death by
Accidents, overdose 
And disease are commonplace
And sad.  We become immune
Until it affects us, then we 
Cry out to the Father,
Ask for forgiveness and
Try to recall what He
Expects from us
We are sad in this way,
But at least know whom 
To turn to
We should bring this concern
To our daily lives in 
A regular manner
To do so is to live fully and 
In the moment even
When the moment is gray
We are loved and the Holy Spirit
Is always with us as promised
By Christ, who taught us and
Died for our sins, then left us
To take His place with His Father
We must love Him above all and
Our neighbors as we wait for
His return.  He knows weakness
And quest for power
And control in our world
That seemingly rejects peace
He will deal with the offenders
As He takes us under His wing

Real life is hard
Even with good leaders
You feel an incentive
Which is more that meager
Listen my friends
I can play a few chords
Enough to lift you
Keep you from being bored

No scarlet letters
Saying you’re identified
Disregard the concept
You’ll be satisfied
No one is a victim
Unless you choose to be
Freedom is a precious gift
Like life I’m sure you’ll see

We live in a world bewildered
Power and control prevail
You must stick to your rights
When you do you will not fail
Gloom and doom exist
They are not the perimeter
Our right to stand up and fight
Precludes our right to falter

Our congress leans to the left
Help in creating the tension
The anti-Semitic leaders
Do not deserve their pension
Death and injury to the innocents
Is not something we behold
Let’s remember the origin and
Realize that we must be bold
