Lost

Father above you see all and know all,
as your child I ask thee to watch those I cannot, for
in this world paths we follow have made misfortunes for me
in great number.
The faces I see each day hide nightmares I am certain,
I find I wish to close my eyes and never open them again.
I see the pain in all whom I happen upon, the pain
of a selfish cruel un-yielding world.
Children selling their innocence
to the highest bidder for a scrap of bread.
Mothers walking this world with a mark upon there heads
raising angels all on their own.
This world shows all it has to offer only to those
who have horded there coin never helping those in need.
When a wife is placed in a casket at such a young age with no
justice to her killer, he hides behind the mask of a husband.
Fathers leaving multitudes of children in their lustful wake,
all for one night of pleasure, they take no charge of their actions.
Women and men seeking sinful pleasures of the flesh
trading holiness for sin, giving what heaven gave to them.
Fewer are the innocent that follow the path of righteousness
how is it that we are that far gone lord?
Can we not see Satan in front of us?
Lord guide me unto the gates of heaven,
for I am lost so very lost in this world.
