Oh God What has become of us I look in the mirror And I am sad I look at my brother And my spirit become heavy I look at my sister I want to cry I look at my people And I want to do so much I look in the mirror And I am afraid   Oh God whatever happened to our innocence How could we have strayed so far Now self destruction our goal Breaking down moral foundations Providing excuses and justifications Looking for a reason not to be Knowing ones duty is to be   Oh God I try to understand Why societies I have come to known With religion as a cornerstone Refuses to carry out the basic teachings of religion Love justice morality Enacting laws and teachings contrary to While expressing desires for peace   Oh God Help me to embrace your teachings Fill my heart and soul with love So I can cherish life Striving to preserve such Dealing justly with all Rejecting the excuses That would prevent me from being That seek to rob us of true self worth Us children of God.   [Home] [About] [Contact Us] [Poetry] [My Poetry] [Featured Poem] [User Poems] [Three Poems] [Events] [Guidelines] [Legal]
