Where is our world headed?
Look what it has become
when men in power
full of corruption
think they're the only ones
to make this world
the way they would see it
and others opinions don't count
and people are tortured
and nations are pillaged
and tensions continue to mount.
When politicians lie to us
and some police tend to take bribes
and a city official
is caught in the sack
with some 'hoe' who is up on a charge.
When power turns to greed
and greed to corruption
there's no one to speak for us
for they're too busy
covering their tracks
and talking out the side of their mouths.
Don't follow their examples
we're all much better than that.
Respect each other
Be honest, sincere and grateful
that in these times of chaos
confusion and upset
we can count on each other.
Above all, get in touch with your God.
We may think we can handle anything
but deep down inside us
in the quiet
when no one is looking
we know we need Someone.

Excellent, excellent! I think that carries a great message that those who think they're strong are truely the weakest, and those who think they are weak are truely the strongest because most people like that aren't afraid to show who they really are, and so many people hide behind masks.
On another note, like with the other part, I have a quote: "Power, don't abuse it." And too many people do if you ask me. I mean, what happened to equality and everyone should have a chance to speak up if they want to be heard? Because if no one's going to listen, is there a point in it? State officials and people like that get so caught up in greediness (if that's a word) that they're blinded to everyone else. And in some cases that's why so many places in the world are breaking out in wars and people havre the nerve to wonder why? Don't they think?
Sorry, once again I'm taking my frusteration out on the piece....which technically makes my comments longer...but still y'nkow? LOL. Anyways, I must go read more. Okay, bubye! *waves*

This pretty much describes the modern world. However, it also describes the history of man. Go as far back as one can in time and we find only the technology has changed.
Even in the pre-Christian era is was so. Of course, it's not only politicians who can be corrupt, the church, whatever denomination has a history of greed and corruption.
I doubt things will ever really change.
I do agree 100%. In this day and age, not only do we need to be in touch spiritually, but with who we are, and be completely honest. This transcends all religions and philosophical beliefs. Honesty, purity, and self reliance. Be able to rely on yourself, to be able to take care of yourself, and then take care of others. I keep wanting our Mayor here (Oscar Goodman) to run for presidency. He's an alcoholic who once worked for the mob...and he totally admits it. He gave an interview and had to push the bottles of booze and a moose head off the couch so the reporter could sit.
And when the reporter asked, he totally admitted it. But he's cleaned up our city, and he's done the most amazing things, cuz he's not too busy covering his own rear end. We don't need more moral politicians. Just honest ones.
Welcome !
