WHAT HAPPENED TO US? III

Where are the days when we were taught respect and regard,
Where are the days when our kids were taught civility, not disregard,
Where are the days when our kids didn't use curse words,
Not because we would smack them but because they knew not to use such words,
Sadly enough, today, I see kids as young as ten, eleven, and twelve using the f-word,
They even refer to their sisters, using the b-word,
Oh how I wail inside for the restoration of godliness in our nation,
For the return of righteousness to our generation,
And I still can't stop asking, what happened to us?


Let us return to the foundation,
Let us return to the foundation,
Please let us return to the foundation,
Have a mind of your own,
Don't be deceived by the media, from its throne,
Of deception, perversion, confusion, and misconception,
Let us return to God, for regardless, He remains our only true foundation,

What do we teach our children?
What do we inculcate in our children?
Do we ourselves even know what is right again?
Do we still know what is the right way again?
Or have our vision being blurred by the perversion of a godless generation,
Twisted by the promulgation of popular culture, given to misconception,

For except we invest in the future of the next generation,
We may find ourselves, years from now, asking about our beloved nation,
What has happened to us?

WHAT HAPPENED TO US? II

....Since when did it become cool to publicize immorality on national T.V?
The crowd cheers, we praise and celebrate an open display of moral decadence, really?
And yet you tell me my definition of wrong, may not be your definition of wrong,
When we all know that there is a clear, thick line between right and wrong,
Our children no longer have a sense of a clear moral direction,
We have lost our moral compass, lost the direction,

The good is fast becoming bad, and the bad is fast becoming good,
These days that which is bad is often celebrated, than that which is good,
Sometimes I am moved to tears when I think about the future generation,
Sometimes I am moved to tears when I think about the future of our nation,
How long shall we continue on a downward path of destruction,
Our moral and family values slipping away from our hands into the waters of oblivion,
Oh can someone please tell me what happened to us?
'Cause I really want to know...

TO BE CONTINUED...

WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

Morality varnished,
Godliness vanquished,
We chose to be a secular nation,
Separate the church and the state, was the notion,
Family values rejected,
Anarchy is becoming the accepted,
What happened to us?

When did we become a people with no moral values,
Since when did it become cool to openly disregard God and His values,
Our kids are becoming increasingly insolent and wild,
Our family and moral values are fast disappearing, we are losing our guide,
Even the sanctity of the marriage institution,
An institution ordained by God with a fixed vision;
A man shall cleave unto His wife was the description,
But now we throw the sanctity of the institution,
To the provision of constitution,
Well, do not crucify me, do not criticize me,
For when it comes to certain things, no man or nation is the standard,
Only God's word and principles is the standard,
So it's not about me or anybody or any written document, it's about Him, not me,
So I ask, what happened to us?
