When a child is born the mind is it preset?
Is our actions in this world proof of it yet.
Lost to love and what love truly should be ,
somewhere we left it behind today greed is in the lead,
God whispers upon the wind be still my child,
learn and know the feeling of love all the while.
The devil is about us and I see you take his hand,
leaving destruction and pain all across the land.
God brings us the sun and the moon in perfect harmony,
and beauty in the world for all to see.
The devil takes our young children's minds through drugs and then,
takes their life through hate and sin.
Do you not feel his touch of love about you each day,
hear the whispers of the does and dont's along the way.
Where the devil fills your soul with adiction and pain,
and yet you listen to his whispers again and again.
God sends you his fairest angels to show you the way,
he wraps his arms about you and yet you push him away.
The devil laughs in your face as you fold in the most deepest of pain,
Tell me whose really to blame.
For each person sent your way is it friend or foe,
God taps you on the shoulder through his whisper this you must know.
When the devil speaks through your mouth with vile so hateful indeed,
He lives within you through the cocaine and the drugs so free.
When you find yourself left alone and cold,
God is still there for you his love so strong.
Reaching to save you and the battle is on,
where God and the devil battle all along.
Which will you choose love or pain fro hell hath such painfull sounds,
will you choose the love and bring life back around.
To except him and know you shall live forever and a day,
in a world of joy and peaceful grace.
Time always comes back around,
Days of our missgivings has a horrid sound.
Where God and the devil goes to battle and our young lost in war,
tell me when will the human race choose love to start.
He gave us all our own minds and the bodies to do good,
and our world would be as eden if only we would.
Work as hard to gain love as we do to destroy this world today,
and find love can heal all and leave our children free to play.
The devil wants it all and cares not who dies in pain,
he has fed upon the children of this world again and again.
For most sin comes from greed lust and the uncareing of our ways,
no feelings or structure we just want it our way today.
Author notes
God comes in many forms the mother crying while trying to save her child the father working long hard hours to see their children have what they need the neighbor reaching out to help the family and the man sitting all raggedy along the street . Vision to help us see and bring love to life again and yet our world today is so riddled in sin . The devils candy has took the lead through our children cant you see we set back and let him bring destruction and hate within our homes and through the abuse and the killings we allow him to roam

this is wonderful about the battle over souls. this world is full of temptation and the devil doesnt fight fair. this work gives us a hope that no matter how far we can fall Gods arm is long and can reach us even if we fell all the way.
When you find yourself left alone and cold,
God is still there for you all along.
Reaching to save you and the battle is on,
where God and the devil battle all along.
using all along twice here kinda paused me but the message in this stanza is way powerful.
Where God and the devil goes to battle and our young lost in war,
tell me when will the human race choose love to start.
im hoping its soon
WTG good luck in the contest!
