America Can't You See?

America can’t you see

What’s been happening to you and me?

Our world is deteriorating fast

Lost are the treasures of love and values of years past.

Families move far apart

Becoming strangers, hoping for a fresh start.

Everyone’s rushing to be on top

They keep going and don’t stop.

They become victims of prey

To the exploited American way.

From a push and a shove and not a genuine hand

Greed, injustice and disease spread across our beautiful land.

Our leaders of whom we trusted

Are at risk of being busted.

Whistleblowers and fake news blowing their horn

Are causing our citizens to be shaken and torn.

We’re replacing religion and prayer

Worshipping money and objects of more flare.

Allowing evil to creep into our hearts and home

And giving Satan more freedom to roam.

Fires, earthquakes, floods and storms

Occur more often with no warns.

Are they the messages of God’s word

That by many, have long been blurred?

A virus pandemic through many nations now it spreads

Quarantining everyone to their homes and beds.

This is a call for reflection for sure

Of all that is false and all that is pure.

Up to the heavens, we must raise our hands and faces

Aloud, repent and plead for the restoration of mercy and graces.

A renewed world of peace, love and happiness

Will be another of His miracles for us to bear witness.

America, can you see now

What’s been happening to you and me?
