Praying
June 7, 2011
People are dying,
Children are crying,
Sleepless nights,
I’m praying.
Guns firing,
Killing wrong-doers,
Sinful world,
I’m praying.
It’s on the T.V,
It’s in the papers,
Some people don’t have a home,
I’m praying.
Soldiers are risking,
Risking their lives,
For you and me,
I’m praying.
Teens are taking,
Their lives for good,
For silly reasons I don’t know,
I’m praying.
Something isn’t right,
Something needs to change,
But who can do it,
I’m praying.

That's a wonderful thought, but I'm afraid a definate cure is imposable. the world will alwase be a little backwards, all we can do is try to help those around us. But I would neverr say suecide comes from silly reasons. It comes from a lack of care in the lives of those unfortunate enough to take that rout of escape. They are not silly, just distressed, with no-one to help.

Men go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the long course or rivers, the vast compass of the ocean, the circular motion of the stars, but they pass by themselves and they don’t even notice.
