*`*` Identifiable Pains`*`*
Pause a while and be still to discern
The ultimate cause of mankind's concerns
Hidden beneath the glitter of our days
Runs a river of painful decay......
Marriages ending in the legal courts
Health issues resulting in bad reports
Financial stress of losing our homes
Fear of making unsatisfactory incomes
Poverty and hunger rule like kings
The love of collecting material things
Hate and anger florish uncontrolled
Envy and jealousy manifested bold
The list of sorrows continue untold
Fearful thoughts destroy our souls
Identifiable pains must be addressed
If peace of mind is to be possessed
Our Creator waits silent to intervene
As our Mediator He comes between
The stigma of the inner pain we hold
And the end results of fear's control
