The Time Is At Hand
I turn on the TV
and just happen to
catch the News.
Two people shot dead
another left to die
nobody listened to his cry...
The time is at hand.
The stocks are falling
the death toll is rising,
everything is out of control.
The winds are blowing
the earth is shaking
the waters are flooding...
The time is at hand.
Innocent people die everyday
struck by a car, a van, a bullet,
innocent children left all alone.
The drugs,The wars,The starving,The homeless,
The evil...The people waiting, for...
The Time is at Hand!
