Shall we let them die without hope?
Wasting away
Wandering in the wilderness
Finding no city of refuge in this barren land
No satisfaction no security no safety.
Shall we let them be afficted by their wrongs?
Watch them try everything and anything except the one thing that will heap them
Watch them pour into an emptiness they can not fill
Throw in the needles, the drugs, the broken hearts, the broken bodies, the next rush
Throw into their souls the things that kill
And yet
We stand silently with the fix
The cure
The only thing that turns shattered people into beautiful mosaics
And we say nothing.
Shall we let them be lost in the sea of life?
Let them be tossed to and fro to their wits end
Untill all they think is left is to go overboard
Because there is no land in sight
No luck in this raging storm
No lighthouse to guide their way.
Shall we let destruction, depression, death have them?
Because when they had health and a dollar in their hand they didn’t need God
But now
Now they have hit rock bottom
And rock is hard and cold.
Shall we stand there and watch them in their suffereing like they are lab rats of what we shouldn’t become?
Shall we forget that we hit rock bottom as well?
That we fell from Heaven?
And yet we called to Heaven in our time of need
And we called because we believed
Believed that there was a God
A God that has hope.
Shall we forget that we had hope?
And that hope is what made us believe
And believeing is what saved us
It was what lead us out of the wilderness
It was what filled us up
It was our lighthouse
Our freedom.
So shall we let them die without hope?
Or shall we give them the cure?
The way out?
The light?
Shall we give them our God?
