Need

From within

By Gregory AndersonPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

We need to breathe

We long to live

Faith is just a tapestry

Of divinity and the human will

We need to belong, We need to feel

There is something within no none can take or steal

We need to understand the trials of the day

Since the dawn of time the world has been this way

Like the finest stallion galloping at full speed

Man has envied his stance and prowess with greed

We witness the church and the politics of men

They try to speak the word but there is sin within

Our need to rebel so many are convinced to mute their voice

While the enemy advances silent is your power and your choice

Many have given up the fight leaving the court to litigate wrong from right

Day in and day out where we once stood together we now stand in doubt

Labeled by party conviction and pride

We need to come together across the land

Because a house divided shall not stand

We need to learn to see each other as equal

We don’t need a better world but the world needs better people

Now is the time let this be the day

That out of our need we must find the way
