Recently there have been several news stories regarding the tragic death of children and the sex exploits of a member of our nation's government. Here are some thoughts I want to share.
At what time did love seemingly go out of fashion?
Where and when did we seem to lose the passion?
Those silly little notes we passed when we were younger
are replaced and misplaced by some obscure hunger.
You read about sex every time you pick up a paper
or some debauched congressman and his latest caper.
Is there no shred of simple decency left?
Has the whole world been hopelessly bereft?
At what time did morals simply disappear?
Explain the reason why, you see it isn't quite clear.
Why we turn a deaf ear to the sins of brothers,
beat on our children and defile our mothers.
As time passes by I see a further decay
more and more society continues to slip away
deeper and deeper into the eternal flame.
Does anyone care? Can we not feel the shame?
Each new day brings another tragic story
which adds to the burden and detracts from God's glory.
How long I do wonder till that day will come
when we all pay the price of evil's lump sum?
