Our problems are many,

Yet the solutions radiate from one Being.

He wraps Himself in light,

And dwells in inapproachable glory.

We’ve long known the solution – Love thy neighbour,

But the heart resists when it is time to act

Complaints rise, yet love doesn’t flow

So how do you expect there to be any real change?

Maybe you don’t truly value righteousness,

Maybe the purity of innocence doesn’t draw you as you claim

Because if it did, as much as money, attention or influence,

You’d sacrifice those very things to pursue Him

The path of deep love is often quiet,

And as long as it continues to be ‘their problem’

And not ours,

The world will continue to be the same.
