How does this world remain
All the evil that surrounds
So many broken and ground
Into the earth like shattered glass
Seems too many cracks
To fix and glue the pieces
Back into you and me
Everyone is bleeding, aching
No one is safe from the pain and
Wrenching heart break
The stress of it is real
No longer just a fear
The darkness resonates
Around each and every day
Some can't escape
Surrounded by the unnameable
Shameable horrifying life
They live still fighting
Tears crying pleading
And begging for mercy
Hoping for light in this smoke
Thick as a fog weighing down
Blinding eyes full of more
Seeking anything but the dreary
Grey sea they are swimming
Seeing red through the haze
Feeling love in the gaze
Of the One carrying
Arms surrounding
Lifting bodies from dragging
Touching hearts that are pleading
For peace and for hope
For more than this earth
Finally love finds its way
Some people are still good today
Even if those aren't the stories
They are there, hands folded
In prayer for strangers trials
They weep begging God please
Help all those in need.
Bless those with illness
Sorrow and pain.
Heal the innocent and weak
Forgive those who still keep
Trying to be better than before.
Guide us all to do more,
Lift our hands to repeat
Thy will in this street
Full of darkness and deceit.
Hearts still beat for more than
Money, power and greed.
So much fear and pain
Enough love and good still remain
To keep this world from the flame.
