A poem about the inequality and the down side to humanity and the need for our salvation. |
Salvation’s Time © Sandie-Leigh Edwards Time has come to make a stand Will you lead or take my hand Strength in numbers or so they say Salvation’s a lonely road I walk today Generations come and generations go Place their mark, watch their children grow Some die for freedom, others make grand plans The blood of our soldiers runs through foreign sands Lives are not given for money we’re told As we fight bloody wars over diamonds and black gold Policies are made that shatter dreams and destroy lives Adding to the bodies already burning on funeral pyres Guns and terror are the choice of weapon How many more must die for humanity’s lesson? Animosities spread hatred and terrible lies While greed lights our passion for foolish desires The records burn brightly from our many bad deeds Is it any wonder we can’t get along and see? Cruelty and senseless acts know no bounds We rip and we burn, there’s no sanity to be found The scars on our souls will live for eternity This is the price for profiting in modernity Blood stains and tomb stones a signal of doom As the path we follow shrouds us in gloom The saints and the sinners are fighting endless wars The death toll from both sides is hard to keep score It’s right to unite and make a pact together Put aside our differences and forge peace forever The time has to come to make a stand Will you lead or take my hand Strength in numbers or so they say We all must walk salvation’s road today. |
