Renewed Hope

 

My heart aches as tears freely fall

What is this conflict for?

Why should such a tragedy befall us?

My soul laments and I am downcast

Misery inhabits my inner being

as the young and innocent are

sacrificed on the altar of irrelevance

Why should this be?

How can we be led into this valley pf perpetual destruction?

Do we not recall the past?

Is history no longer taught?

Or are we to stumble forward and backward

and repeat our folly

blindly clutching the straws of a fruitless life?

God preserve us and regenerate our dormant souls

to the glory of all that is about us

A creation of natural splendour

the abode of the faithful and just

and those who search for a lasting peace
