I Weep For
I weep for the world
Its sadness a burden to bear
Eyes open to atrocities
War, famine, poverty
Images of what we have become
Commanded to love neighbor
Give to the poor
Weep with the weeping
The mandate seems lost
Where did it go?
Perhaps it was scattered by blowing winds
Winds that wiped the minds clean
Hardened the hearts of humanity
Froze their souls to feel no more
I weep for the world
Join me if you cry for the masses
Take my hand if you feel love
And sobs will turn to laughter.
