something bouncing in my head :-

we live in troubled times,
we commit many a crime,
getting worse as of late,
is this humanity sealing our fate,

have we loss all sense of direction,
or just suffering global confusion,
stabbings, killings, bombings seem common ground,
has our ship ran aground,

our new generation that is being borned,
will never know their innocence till its gone,
borned in regions of tension and strife
can we call this a normal life,

maybe it is not all dark skies,
for i still see some innocence in childrens eyes,
hope i am guessing for the future,
hope for all god's creatures,

if just we would come together,
to live the way deemed by our maker,
peace and harmony would reign,
and we will be innocent again,

never lose sight your inner child,
go out and let loose once in a while,
this innocence will save us from this strife,
as we search for a normal life,

to our children "never grow up"
play and be happy drink of life's cup,
show us the way oh young ones,
to save us all from our own guns.
