Opened Eyes

Choppy oceans crash the rocks A world completely covered in blocks Society runs from start to finish While our big families slowly diminish Yesterday’s crimes happen again today While the government’s teachings don’t go away Taxes are paid to people who don’t deserve them While children’s eyes slowly go dim Families curse and have too many babies While dingoes run freely with thousands of rabies Diseases happen and appear new everyday Children with cancer can no longer play The law is so tied up in their own demented ways Slowly but surely the sun dissolves it’s unique rays This world was once a beautiful home With spectacular wildlife ready to roam Now it’s been cursed and all torn apart Created from someone with an eternal heart While that someone vowed never to destroy it again While man frantically compete with Him to win Everyone thinks they can outsmart the Great By destroying and saturating His world in hate Everyone’s up for destruction and crime While nothing moves in our world but time Tiny little babies don’t ask to be born While there’s children on streets with clothes all torn Not enough food for people to go around But gunshot bullets are our only sound Competing against the colors blue and red Shallow little graves with innocent babies dead How can we change what our world’s come to? Who will help us? Very few Different people with different names World completely filled with ongoing shame It can’t be helped no one will try But because of this, I refuse to die I will do good no matter how long I will obey and sing God’s song I will not do sins, I will not lie But sometimes I might be very shy I’ll tell the truth even though it’s hard I will not end up getting the Devil’s card So here I type in front of You Grant me the courage so I can be true
