WHEN DID IT ALL BEGIN?

Like Rip Van Winkle we’ve awakened
from a deep and drug-like sleep,
to find a world of disrespect, no morals
where so many mothers weep.

Jesus warned us during His Passion
weep not for Him but for our families,
It’s come to pass, it’s here today
He has brought us to our knees.

We live with two major cultures
where death and hatred reign,
babies butchered in the womb
and with hatred making gains.

We see it in the daily news
senseless killings, broken hearts,
no remorse from the evil doers
just icy coldness they impart.

It began when we noticed changes
that didn’t feel just right,
but we wore rose-coloured glasses
never putting up a fight.

Then when voting time came round
we didn’t take the time,
to study what they had to say
and read between the lines.

Long gone the days when candidates
worked for the common good,
now it’s everybody for himself
no one living as they should.

I seems we’ve reached an all-time low
our monies spent by those in power,
as it’s doled out to abortionists
murdering babies by the hour.

Oh God do what You have to do
this evil can’t go on, we pray,
stop the killing and the hatred
or our soul’s death will be our pay.

We’ve been blinded by the evil one
especially those who say, there’s no such thing,
to some degree we’ve all been hypnotized
therefore feeling not his sting.

Turning to our Lord and Saviour
will be the only way,
to bring back to man his decency
with prayer, then love will come to stay.
