God created oceans connecting us
We've created lines on paper separating us, catagorizing us, distancing us, ruining us
God created human beings
We've created Whites, Asians, Hispanics, Indians, Italians, Arabs, Swedes, Germans and so on
God Gave us minds
We've used our minds to grow, prosper, become civilized, become greedy, to hate, to judge, to be immoral.
God Gave us our bodies
Our temples, they dont even belong to us, yet we abuse it, we hurt it, we cheat it, we hate it
God gave us a conscience, a heart
but we step all over eachother
we bruise eachother's hearts, and our conscience just disapates, and becomes nothing
God made good
we've turned it evil
GOd made nite
and we've just been sleeping
our eyez closed
half blind, half choosing not to see
God made the sun
so there could be morning
God made morning
So maybe one day
We will wake up

Good poem, I really like how you ended it.

"Sa souvraya niende missian ye." \
I am lost in my own mind.
