In the future...


To my worries and struggles,

It’s okay

I won’t bother you

Time to put all my pride aside for you and show you how to smile

I promise that it’ll be worthwhile

I care for you

Always be right there for you

And in time

We’ll flourish

Go out in the world and nourish

All these empty hearts

Whose lives been torn apart

They need a healing

Anoint them with the word

And approach every meaning

And tell them everything will be okay

They’ll see brighter days

And guarantee in the future

You’ll just pursue what you all set your mind to

And you’ll say goodbye to

All the trials and tribulations

Going on in your nation

Hunger and poverty

No education

Just citizens living in the rotation

Of life.

No, not the circle of life

The rotation that occurs in every generation

From highs to lows

To lows from highs

And some things people can’t abide to

But I promise you

All you must do is drop to your knees

Pray and say “God, help me please”

And God will bless you 10 times over

And before you know it

Your struggles will be over.
