One Untitled Disappointment

Broken and Bare
A deceiving stare
Body unfolding with the ravages of time
Evil taunting consuming all minds
When will we all learn to love one another
Instead of turning our backs on our brothers
Desolate feelings rushing over the land
Mistrust and betrayal at every right hand
Running to church to find a savior
Instead of changing their nasty behavior
Turning a cheek to the innocent and helpless
Will we ever find a way out of this mess
Selfishness and greed have steadily grown
Look at the seeds in which we have sewn
Caring and love almost all faded out
I have yet to hear anyone stand up and shout
"What the hell's happened to all of our people?"
They still all crowd into and under the steeple
But why if no one has desire to change
Or to work around or rearrange
The lives that contribute to this living hell
Almost so far gone I can hardly tell
Who really gives a damn anymore
As society crumbles down to the floor
With all the lies and misdirection
The pool of hate grows like infection
To every last corner of this earth
I know it now and since my birth
Determined to keep a smile on my face
Its almost gone and been replaced
With the evilest grin you've ever seen
From where I'm going and where I've been
Can we save the sweet young girl inside
Before she's gone cause she ran to hide
Distracted by everyones need for attention
But only seeking a bit of perfection
Can this world provide what I'm looking for
Will it hallow me out down to the core
Trying to escape to find what I so desire
What in this world can take my life higher
Take my hand and end all my fear
Shout it out so I can truly hear
There is love left in this ugly world
Almost gone cause it's been unfurled
Can we still save it as long as we try
I've almost given up and said goodbye
But still the hope courses through my veins
I'll try as I might, that is all that remains
