“Desperate call”

Dear lord I pray unto thee, desperately I cry out on bended knees
mend my broken spirit of all thats been mistreated, restore my
strength and next time I won’t be defeated
and if you hear my desperate call but choose to answer me not
strip this body of its soul, take it back so all will be forgot.
This world has turned so cruel it’s disturbing, sadly it has turned so
twisted that it’s frightening
between the hunger they have for the violence and drugs and their thirst
for money and power it has left no room for forgiveness nor compassion
and their hearts have all turned sour.
they are so quick to pass judgment on one they have no knowledge of
when in fact they should be concerned of their trial that awaits and
the sentence they will receive from our only judge above
the expectations they put on one another are far greater than their own
and though it’s been proven many times before the outcome of their demands
couldn’t have been known.
some destroy their beauty by deforming their bodies and the want for approval
is so great that they will kill even die trying to fulfill
no one seems to have any respect nor any honesty towards humanity
they cheat and deceive and feed on all they see as weak until you lose sight of all you seek
taking advantage of all you have to offer until you have nothing left to give 
and leave you to suffer 
all the greatness deep inside you they will soon devour
to help spread the hate throughout the world each hour
dear lord please reach inside of me and relight my fire that has burned out 
but this time will you make it burn just a little brighter so the world can see my heart’s desire
and repair the vision of all your children you have created maybe then we will see life’s 
true essences and all of its importance 
maybe we may remember our father that we serve in the beautiful sky that we're under.
