What happen to the joy?
I remember when the world Was filled with love Laughter, kindness, friendship And amazing hugs We use to help and show Affections toward our brother Now we fight, and Bad mouth one another There was a time when We care what went on And parents wouldn't leave Their children alone Preachers was concern when A Christian fell down Help would always come From miles around What happen to the joy that Use to be in this world What happen to the laughter The kindness and the love Why are we killing, and Destroying precious life What makes us argue, and What makes us fight We use to borrow a cup Of sugar from our neighbor Join hand in prayer Setting at the breakfast table We would help each other As far as we were able With a kind heart we would Always return the favor Envy, jealously, hatred, and lust Has penetrated our heart Relationship, friendship, and Marriages torn apart What happen to the joy That made us what we are We once spoke of peace But now what we see is war What happen to the times when Your child could play with mine And go to school in peace without Someone committing a crime What happen to the safety We once felt in this world And where is the peace, and What happen to the love What happen to the smiles we Once wore upon our face What happen to the moments What happen to the days What happen to the way Times use to be, When we felt excited, happy And free??????????
