If life be precious and worth defending,
Then what's up with all of this pretending?
Our strife-torn world with wars unending,
Partners fighting, couples rending,
Brothers, sisters each offending,
When no one sees, know doom's impending.
The world is lost, no Christ descending.
Young souls depressed, their lives are ending.
Poor in spirit, we all keep spending,
Then wonder why drugs are quickly trending.
Instead of on substances depending,
Instead of ideologies defending,
Instead of criticism lending,
Our souls are split, our hearts need mending,
Our culture's broken, needs upending.
We mustn't just be condescending,
Sappy thoughts and prayers sending,
God and doctor recommending,
When above the grave are spirits pending.
Why not defend what's worth defending,
A husband and wife in love blending,
Sisters, brothers, one another befriending,
Friends, acquaintances their true selves lending,
Poor people housed, their hunger suspending,
All of us for good our breaths expending,
To raise each other toward heaven, ascending,
For peace and charity, for all, fending.
