Believe in Love

The world is changing,

I feel it is getting worse,

And not for the better,

I pray it will reverse…

Politicians are corrupt,

Wall street is just as bad,

People stealing and cheating,

This all makes me sad…

Drugs are rampant,

And out of control,

Gangs dominate neighborhoods,

This was not our intended goal…

Powerful leaders spewing hate,

Spreading terror everywhere we look,

Starting wars over little problems,

A few hundred years is all it took…

What happened to the role models,

The people on who we could rely,

They are all dead and buried,

The world has gone awry…

The one thing we can believe in,

Is the love we give to each other,

Like the love of an unborn child,

To the womb from its mother…

Like the love of a wife,

To her husband’s devotion,

The things we hold so dear,

A part of life’s true emotion…

When all this is lost,

And there is no belief left,

Just like the love that is gone,

And all our feelings bereft…
