in a nation that's so divided?
Where do you see meaning
in lives that are so unguided?

How do you discover hope
when the streets are so full of despair?
How do you uncover the truth
when the truth is so unclear?

What happened to the love?
Did we trade it all for hate?
How did we lose our peace,
and then become so irrate?

How can we pray for heaven
when we're living in this hell?
How do you save a people
when you can't even save yourself? [comments] => 6 [counter] => 212 [topic] => 73 [informant] => ceazer2005 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

Save Yourself
