I stare blankly down the streets covered in trash, tears, and blood shed by violence. Addicts sitting on corners begging for favors and pleading for food, desperation plague their hollowed eyes and their minds, lost in the haze of paranoia. And it hurts me to see them tear themselves down beyond repair.
In graffiti filled parks I see children laughing and playing without a care, unknowingly bringing life into a broken home. Their hearts are full of love and their eyes, full of loyalty and trust. I think of their futures and my heartaches for them.
I cry for the lost, the rich, and the poor, whose hearts have grown bitter and cold, for what could have been in their lives are now gone, and left is the empty high of a drug unknown, I silently cry.
I pray for the ones who have given up hope, hope for a future full of love, faith, and joy, I cry for the lonley, the sick, and the lost, I pray that someone would take the time to reach out and shine a light into the darkest of places and restore the souls of those who have strayed from their paths in life. I silently hope.
I hope for a future, a better tommorow, for those who need compassion and care, I hope that bitterness melts with the touch of a heartbeat, I pray for the love that we can give one another, I pray for all souls to be graciously be welcomed into heaven and forever live in a place of brotherly love. I forever pray.
