Why Are We Here?
Why are we here?
This question has been asked through every generation
To live life without any cares or fears?
These are the prayers of people of all nations
Times are getting harder to deal with each day
Increasing prices, decreasing pay
Stressful times…a man entering his place of employment
Kills half the people there, the other half are hostages
A child of seventeen chased several blocks and captured
His freedom gone…beginnings of his mothers torture
A baby too hungry and weak to cry
Its mother is too busy selling her body to get high
Two friends last week had words with one another
One returned with a gun and shot his friends brother
North, East, West, South…Blue, Red, Black, Green
People killed over silly , what does all of it mean
Are these the hard times Jesus spoke of with his disciples?
If it were not for the sins of the first man life would be delightful
