Our nation suffers from political rabies
Save the trees, kill the babies
It's a toss up between Christ and condoms
A generation of greed might be one of the problems
I keep telling myself it's ok
Look the other way
The world will get better some day
I keep searching
keep wondering when
we all decided we would live in sin
People are starving in the streets as I write
We hear about donations and keep our purse stings tight
As I play with my new toy and drive my shiny car
I swear I'll help someone who needs it . . . but I don't get far
...... *unfinished*...... rest coming soon

You've got a great start for this piece. The first two lines really caught my attention, just be careful with the rhyming because sometimes it can sound a bit forced. I can't wait to read the finsihed version!
