IN OUR LIFETIME
 

In our lifetime
Will abuse ever stop,
in our lifetime,
will the message ever get across,
in our lifetime,
it will never be done,
through government,
it will never be done,
through any church,
it will never be done.

By wishing, hoping, dreaming or praying,
it will be done by you and me.

Many people love the thought,
of this wrong being made right,
when asked, they step forward,
ask "how can I help"?

When suggestions and ideas,
are given to them,
and the time comes for them to DO..

got no time...
got no money....
I'm too sick...
I'm too old...
and the best...
"sure..send me info"....
never to be heard from again.

In our lifetime,
will abuse ever end..
I wish I could say for sure,,,
it is a people concern,
but finding some who care,
for excuses, there is no cure.

I believe in me,
nothing will ever change that,
but there is a very thin line,
between belief and being a fool!!

At this very moment,
how many lay bleeding,
how many carried away,
how many on their deathbed,
and how many turn away?

I know it is a wrong,
that we need to make right,
there is only you and me,
and yet from what I've seen,
I can only count on me.

I have some plans,
I have some ideas,
that are several steps away,
and when I find some serious folks,
it can start in a day.
