    Hurt

    People hurting all around
    vicious gossip and rumors throughout the town
    Whispers, mutters, fires …
    Strength, weakness, lost desires.
    A time to remember, a time to heal
    Emptiness, darkness, loss of all love
    Touch and feel.
    Caring, sharing, losing, and loving
    Isolation, brokenness, coldness, pain
    with gossip and rumors all around what
    really is gained?
    Hearts broken, minds bruised, spirits crushed
    People thinking they are grown when they’re not,
    So quick too grow up, I can’t figure out why the rush.
    Perception is in the eyes of the beholder
    Where opinions are formed, lives are persecuted
    we need to come together and be there for one another
    we need to reach our a hand or lend a strong shoulder
    There’s too much pain in the eyes of the weak
    No place to go, nowhere to turn, no one to speak
    What’s happened to this world and why all the hate?
    People need to wake up! Before it’s too late …
    What are you going to tell our Lord when you stand
    Before Him on judgment day?
    That it was his fault, her fault that made you that way.
    There’s a war going on; people losing their life for you and
    this country. They don’t know you or me
    but they are willing to die so we can remain free.
    What can I do? What can I say?
    Of all sad words of tongue and pen,
    The saddest are these,
    “It might have been … ”
    We cannot foresee the future or know
    Ones destiny. Whether we’re rich, poor
    Healthy or ill,
    There’s but only one way to know and
    That’s the Lord’s Will.
