Life














































What is the point?

We hide from our problems
      and run from our fears.
What have we accomplished
      in so many years?

Children still cry
      and parents still scold.
Loved ones lose homes
      when businesses fold.

Abuse and neglect
      take their toll everyday,
While floods of unborn babies
      are buried away.

Drugs are still smuggled,
      and people still die.
Everyone knows it,
      but no one knows why.

Doctors kill patients
      (without breaking the law).
Governments fight,
      and nations fall.

Psychics are preaching
      with help from the stars.
Millions of maniacs
      gather in bars.

Doors are kept locked
      and bikes are in chains.
Pollution brings fear
      of acid rains.

Young girls get pregnant
      and mothers get mad:
"It would have been different
      had she lived with her dad."

Criminals brag
      about jobs they have done,
While innocent people
      are forced to run.

Poets and writers
      make up their lists.
Old men stand by
      shaking their fists.

We make up excuses
      to cover our tracks,
By telling white lies
      we hide the facts.

I wish I could say,
      "I am better than most,"
But with all I have done
      I have no room to boast.

We all can point fingers
      at who is to blame,
The truth of the matter:
      we're all the same.

Death is a blessing
      and life is a curse.
As time goes on
      it will only get worse.

What we cannot change,
      do we have to accept?
The world says yes,
      that is why Jesus wept.

The point of life
      comes down to this:
We cannot rely
      on hits we have missed.
