GOD WILL SHOW US THE WAY

             GOD WILL SHOW US THE WAY 

God on bended knees we pray ,
To show mankind the spiritual way ,
With so many paths under the stars 
Let  the righteous path be ours 

I hear cries of anguish on this one 
Stress is all over there in tons .
Crimes never seem to take a holiday ,
Rape and murder create headlines everyday ,

Sex and drugs are not hard to find .
It seems as if the world has gone  blind .
When children are welding guns .
Schools are no longer that fun ,

Politeness  has vanished away ,
Rudeness is having a hay day .
Moms  and dads are busy making money ,
Teens glued to phones are whispering to their honey .

A place which was once called home ,
Inmates now often make it a war torn zone ,
Its either TV watching or computer games ,
Or play stations on screen frames .

The parks are now gangster hide outs ,
Leaving kids to play alone there springs doubts ,
Little girls  need to be escorted every where ,
Perverts  prowling for a prey  create a scare .

Love birds of different castes and religions ,
Become victims of societies inhuman decisions ,
Corruption and greed  are the in thing ,
Might is right is the song they love to sing .

What was once right now seems so wrong ,
The beat and lyrics are so different in new songs ,
Old is no longer thought to be gold ,
It's now ok to rock ,bare and be bold .

In this chaos of crime ,corruption and despair ,
What has happened to humanity everywhere ?
Why are honest whistle blowers being punished ?
Why are  proclaimed god men who rape being sheltered ?

Having love faith and trust in our almighty creator ,
With folded hands we pray  to our supreme vindicator ,
To help  stop these  outrageous  acts  of man kind ,
And  give humans soundness to use their wise mind ,

Shake all with your supreme power and wisdom ,
And awaken their consciousness  in thy beloved kingdom 
Endow  all with good sense  to do good deeds ,
Shower  all with your grace and show all the path to heed 

God on bended Knees we pray 
We know you will show us the way
Make all paths lead to love harmony and peace,
We beseech you to bless humanity to live in ease .
