In Peril

Don’t you hear the dirge of death The world in agony gasps for breath Mother Earth sighs, wails and bleeds By her children’s bitter deeds Shades of horror cloud the skies Tragic scenes mist the eyes Life has turned miserably vapid To our extinction we move rapid People forced to leave their home and job Under threat of a murderous mob Thousands flee from the butchers knives Through perilous routes for their dear lives Chaos and confusion rule the lands Violence is perpetrated by brutal hands Nations are cruelly torn apart From righteous paths, men sadly depart Pandora’s Box is wide open Corruption and bribery strengthen Here, our life in anguish is torn Each looks at the other in deadly scorn To which port are we moving? Seems our vessel is drowning Strive to cement the cracks with love Let this be our mission and solemn vow We are the last of a surviving breed Let us rise up to see our world freed From all shackles that bind us tight And strive to bring it to newer light!
