Goodwill
Proverbs 15:16 New English Translation (NET Bible)
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord
than great wealth and turmoil with it.
Goodwill
Peace on earth goodwill to man let the wars continue
Greed and power churning all hope into the deep
Remembering now and then who will pay the dues
as generations are turning to history’s mixed up heap?
What will be has been and habits cannot be broken
From the fathers to their son's depravity lives on
Repeatedly now seen that human life seems a valued a token
It's future long forgone in a chosen down-syndrome
Searching for the best in all the wrong places
Seeking perfection hoping it resides in leadership
Failing every test in a deck without aces
they’re mentally coping with the rest of it
Jan Wienen
