The Jungle

Violence is awarded
Self respect lacks importance
Humbleness is avoided
Self righteousness is true glory
How far are we to fall from the tree
For our roots run wild and free
Why aren't we also to be
If it is spoken, then it is done
False pretenses of who we're to become
Bewildered, lost, shades of who we once were
What has and what will
The lies are digging this grave still
God shows his face when we see our own guilt
When times are good we don't call
When times are bad to our knees we hate to fall
There are no I told you so's
There are only hands to help us rise
For if we rise we see better days
But if we just remain we seal our fate
How to overcome ignorance
This is our new pace
How to overcome prejudice
This is when we are to be great
The seasons are becoming the same
The times are seeking change
The dignity and pride we once felt
The morals and values we once held
How can we find our way from being lost
When will our Moses arise from the dust
Who will lead our lost souls from these forbidden sands
Once the last grains fall, who will turn over the glass?
