To Those Who Had A Chance

To Those Who Had A Chance

October 28^th, 2007

This one is explicit, but important. 

The world as I see it is

Full of flaws that we just can’t ignore,

Flaws that ask us the question:

“What does God want from us?”

Women being raped and beaten to death,

Men in the military being chewed out for being men,

And our commander in chief wanting

$452 billion for nothing but bullets.

Bill was just a young boy,

Had a bright future

With a fine intellect.

His daddy was too rough on me

So he put three bullets in his head

So he’s now resting six feet under.

What’s this world coming to,

We keep repeating the same mistakes.

Why can’t we get the clue

Guns only destroy

Those who had a chance

In this world.

The world is a deadly place,

Full of people corrupted

By hatred and driven only by

A chip on their shoulder.

All the arsonists in California

Are on the run now.

All the Priests who are huddled in a corner

Crying over all the boys they touched,

And all the child molesters

Who failed to register as sex offenders

Who are now walking our streets.

Rachelle was just a young girl,

Who ran away at 16,

Got hooked up with the wrong person,

Got pregnant early on,

Contracted HIV

And died at 31.

Her pre-teen son is now without a parent

Or hope for that matter.

What does God Want From Us?

What does God want from us?
