We work real hard to earn a buck
To help us out if we get stuck
We live our lives and try our best
But find it hard to pass each test

Most laymen’s we, in way of way
Unknowing, simply guess each day
Withholding thoughts which should be said
Not seeing issues put to bed

We do the time of common man
We try to figure what we can
The hours seeming all so long
Where does the call of right belong?

We see the greed, the fight for strength
The so-called right; to just what length?
The common man with taint to bear
With shacking heads, but who does care?

We’re sheep that seem to follow
All our leaders to tomorrow
Who summon grief, to bear upon the soul of every man
Each day brings further hardship
As countries lose their friendship
United we’d be stronger, now struggle as we can

None, they know the outcome, of what will come to be
Hopeful for tomorrow that peace we all will see
The time is coming nearer
When outcome should be clearer
Let’s pray to God together you and me

Hello Rick,

Yes, I like this a great deal. Shall we pray.

Hi Pat, thanks for the reply, I think that we all need to pray, pray for the ones who run out of patience, pray for us all and for the years to be good ahead.

Sincerely
Rick
