Loss of Guidance
Principles dismissed have sickened.
Minds unwinding from fixed disappearing values,
Can be found displayed on disrespecting streets.
People are seeking to emerge unscathed.
With questioned beliefs praised in prayers deceived.
Faith hypocrisized by lost virtues no one keeps!
Truth is dared and confronted in speech.
Those who speak it,
Are without influence that can be outreached.
And we as a people,
Have allowed humanity...
To be disregarded and impeached!
As accusations rise to blame our leaders,
For a loss of guidance...
Swept from underneath our feet,
With a greed that's left us weak.
