THE FALLEN SOCIETY

I once did know society,
But fooled I was- it’s vanity.
Experienced I the falling world,
Armageddon’s’ banner’s unfurled!
We’ve conquered our minds and our souls,
But soon we’ll have to pay the tolls.
Oh, can you hear the children’s cries?
This world is full of endless lies.
While bombs erupt on US soil,
The innocent live in strife and toil.
Earth’s Spirit man has now crushed,
With pride and greed our hearts are rushed.
Worse now than sewers are our streets,
Where tribulation man secretes.
Our cities great, now are crumbling,
As our values we are fumbling.
We do not aid the many in need,
Warnings of doom we do not heed.
In God’s forgotten face we cow,
For money has enslaved us now.
Our lungs die from polluted air,
But yet we think Does any one care?
In a fallen society,
We live not in propriety.

In this downward spiral we go,
Chance is there to resist the flow?
From whence have we fallen? How and where,
Society did itself tear?
In a fallen society,
Can we live in propriety?

Now tattered much like man’s last hope,
Grasp we must at our last strong rope.
There is a light within us all,
And in the dark we must stand tall.
The light therein is dim but firm,
From mistakes once made, lessons we’ll learn:
Care for the sick and for the poor,
And win we will this inner war.
The Earth needs us to care again,
As does God and our fellow men.
And in this fallen society,
Live we will in propriety.........
