A Righteous Plea

Father, here you see

Wicked things are done

Reliance is created

Drawn to as the sun

Weary fish unto bait

Hunger may be filled

But in their hearts, a hook

Young blood is spilled

Follow blind as bats

Feeling warmth and care

Knowing not where they go

Affection is their snare

A longing filled inside them

They cannot deny

Held to as a spell

God you see the lie

It stands proud before us

It sits with head held right

Standing as a candle

Atop lies not a light

Feeding on innocence

Longing, this disease

They find fulfillment here

It takes what it please

Where is the righteousness

Who will cast out night?

Will there be no end to this

Is freedom not in sight?

Give me strength to testify

Be the spirit here

In you God I am strong

In you I have no fear

Be the light behind me

The hands to clean the dirt

To reach below my comfort

Touch the pain and hurt

You know where it lies

How to heal the pain

When the cloud has left

Light will shine again
