"Waiting for Judgement ..."

"Waiting for Judgement ..."

I used to come home after work
And turn on my TV.
Take off my shoes and make myself
A cup of good hot tea.

I called it my “relaxing time”
But now I’m not so sure.
The things I’m seeing every night
Make me feel insecure.

I try to watch the evening news,
But I can’t bear to see
The thefts and murders, lies and drugs
All there in front of me.

A man abducted two young boys.
A mother killed her kids.
Why would someone do such a thing
That law and God forbids?

Attorneys waving to the crowd;
A murderer set free.
A loophole in the law was found
After his killing spree.

A husband beats his wife to death.
My mind is going numb!
With prostitution, child abuse,
What has our world become?

When will this madness ever stop?
All we can do is pray
And hope that God will intervene
Before our Judgment Day.
