A broken place this world is <br />That needs to be saved; <br />A torn place this world has been <br />That needs to be mended: <br /> <br />Our leaders are driven <br />By the love of power <br />Not the power of love; <br /> <br />The masses' ears itch <br />To hear what they want <br />Not what they need; <br /> <br />The youth willfully opt <br />To thirst for and get ‘satisfied' with <br />Sinful pleasures of the dark; <br /> <br />Blood-lust is all over <br />In circles of men, <br />For money and its gain; <br /> <br />Treachery is employed everywhere <br />With no twinge of remorse, <br />Just for money and its gain; <br /> <br />Deception orders the day, <br />Lies wonderfully being told; <br />Truth and honesty remain despised; <br /> <br />Show me fidelity in marriages! <br />Cite for me trust in courtships! <br />Ring me godly love amongst mortals! <br /> <br />Curse the darkness no longer— <br />Switch the light on. <br />Preach the gospel all over <br />In all you do and say: <br />Let who you are <br />Reflect who the Light is.<br /><br />Stain Katuli<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-broken-place-2/
