Watching, helpless and surprised
At what we have devised
But with little insight or connection to reality
Many cry and plead, so naïve
At the part they played
And never, ever prayed or knew how
Or acknowledged signs of wicked destiny
Children running wild
No right direction and no rudder
No strong father or good sense mother
Turned out lost and grabbing life in weird, unhealthy ways
Decency and good training
Swapped for apathy and depravity
Yields a tribe without a compass
Which can only end in tragedy
Bullets and drugs served up daily in plain sight
Murder, hate, anger for no reason
Has simmered in each season but ignored for too long
Now explodes without containment
When each one did not teach one
That truth and love have meaning
The sneaky end game for the sin game
Crept right in and stole most of what’s left of peace or wisdom
All defenses for ungodly offenses accept no judgment
While dishonor, worldliness, and trashy style
Nasty talk and vulgarity seem proud to be so vile
And have welcomed unthinkable perversions through every portal
Most who knew better did not do their jobs to pass on
The tools we needed to deal with evil’s reaping
Nor throw out the bad seeds and save the good for keeping
And now, at last, chaos has gone berserk – an unholy wreck!
What on earth did we expect?

Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
