Just Another Normal Day
options:email:idontshare@webtv.net


It was just another normal day
Parents at work and children play

Vactioners enjoy the beauty of nature
Lovers enjoy their sensual pleasure

Families gather for a morning meal
Businessmen negotiate and deal

Students doing their time in school
A lifeguard sits at the hotel pool





A lonely artist sits on the beach
Listening to what the oceans teach

Gentle waves caress the shore
This beauty is difficult to ignore

Brush strokes capture this paradise
As canvas the waves paralyze

This picture of perfect scenery
Reflections of perception and imagery





Without warning the tsunami came
Not even time to call out a name

Families in a moment torn apart
Helplessly watch a loved one depart

Fear seizes in its awful grip
As you feel your hands begin to slip

Into the torrent of destruction you go
Raging waters tossing to and fro





For a moment the waters stop and then
Back to the ocean pulling everything in

In its aftermath an errie scene
Of total devastation is seen

Stunned survivors barely cling to life
A husband cannot find his wife

Childrens cries fill the air
This is now a land of despair






Our hearts break for those who died
And for those who have survived

The landscape is now a desolation
For these there is no consolation

A mother weeps for here missing child
Dead bodies in mass graves are piled

Great was the loss of lives lost
Immense wil be the rebuilding cost 





The United States is like this paradise
As we depart from truth and hold to lies

Leaving the rock we build on sand
Ignoring danger we do not understand

Homes constructed by the ocean of sin
Blocking the light to let darkness in

Heaven on earth as we live in comfort
Avoiding any who would disrupt or hurt





A lonely christian sits on the beach
How can he for his GOD others reach

Seeking wisdom from GOD above
Desiring to have a heart of love

Trying to capture a thought or word
To share with others what he heard

Painting a word picture in the sand
Hoping that someone will understand





Abortion on demand is a right
How could we have lost our sight

Gay by birth and not a choice
In this convenient lie many rejoice

Alcohol and sexuality is glorified
Church and morality is villified

Sin may be wrong but not illegal
Wounded falls the bald eagle





Broken homes and unwed mothers
No one seems to care for brothers

Violent streets and crowded bars
Everybody has their scars

Suicide and homicide
Who gets to decide

Free love comes at a high price
Players roll the dice





The church sees the tsunami of sin
So much devastation where do we begin

Pledges are nice but the need is great
To act tomorrow will seal today's fate

We must do what we can where we are
People need you not a superstar

Just open your heart and let them in
Then trust GOD to work a miracle within



.....peace.....
