The world that He created....

Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed.
Take a look at all the suffering we breed.
So many lonely faces scattered all around,
Searching for what they need.

Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded?
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created.

You know that every day a helpless child is born,
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home.
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne,
Waiting for life to go by.

Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own.
Is this the world we devastated?
Right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky looking down,
What can He think of what we've done
To the world that He created?

"Take a look at all the suffering we breed."
For me, this is the most powerful line in this song. Suffering that we, you and me, breed. Contribute to.
Overlook.

"Is this what we're all living for today? The world that we created?"
Are we living for ourselves?
Putting our own desires before the needs of others?
Living for us?

"...of the world that He created..."
It gets me everytime. Day to day, it's easy to forget that God created this all for us. He gave us this place and everything in it.
And this is what we've done with it.
Luckily He's a forgiving kind of guy.

You don't have to agree with me, but I do get frustrated with this world.
I get frustrated with poverty, and ingnorance towards it.
I get frustrated with greed, and the pride that goes with it.
I get frustrated at the media.
I get frustrated with myself.

I guess that's all from me tonight. This wasn't meant to turn into a rant, but it has, and I don't want to press the backspace button.
Something for you to think about anyway.
