living in a broken world

Deconstructing mind, will and emotions
Losing somehow isn't all that bad
There are too many questions to ask
As one soul loses patience

The world suffers with the weight of our fallenness
A nation plunders, manipulates, and steals
All in the name of freedom, rights, liberty
But really for riches, prosperity, using greed
Yet we enlightened ones close our eyes
We are caught in the glitter and romance
Caught in the name of freedom, rights, liberty
But really seeking riches, prosperity, using greed

Within padded walls, walking warm floors
Eating pre-cooked meals, driving air-conditioned cars
We seek a future that is built on lies and evil
Within broken walls, walking dirty floors
Eating simple meals, walking or riding a bike
Some ask for nothing more than their today

I cannot mourn my comfortable reality
Though it was built on abuse, manipulation, injustice
My world is living proof that those who walk on others have it good
It is for us the illustration of bigotry, hatred, racism
I live in something altogether evil, broken, flawed

I can finally mourn this reality
And look further to Christ...
