Countries in financial ruins,
Making the world's economy precarious.
Protesting in the streets against bad laws,
And for civil and individual rights for all of us.
Some policemen being called out
For using "excessive force" when it wasn't needed.
A citizen killing a young man found innocent,
But arrested a few more times, was justice heeded?
Countries at war over human rights, ethnic
Backgrounds, religious beliefs, terrorist
Attacks due to differences of who is right
Or who is different and human trafficking exists.
Trust between allies is sorely tested.
Citizens don't trust their government leaders.
Corruption at all levels of government,
Finance and even children's teachers.
We took God and prayer out of schools,
And replaced them with metal detectors.
"The Pledge Of Allegiance" is no longer said,
"One Nation Under God" displeases some sectors.
This is the world we leave our children,
Grandchildren, and generations to come.
Embattled by budget deficits, mistrust,
And attacks of terrorism.
We need God and prayer back in our
Hearts, schools and homes. We need
To be able to trust our leaders again and caring
For our elderly and veterans--let this be our creed.
