Prayerful Town

this town has so much to cry for
it has no  prayer to pray
we listen to gunshots and gospel music
at the same time hoping God would find
a way
tear dry up but come again
when the late t.v. News broadcast our
story once again
black on black crime every time,I have
faith God gone fine a way in His
time
in this not so prayerful town
brother get lock down while the sister yell
for help saying "who gone
take care of my baby boy with no cloths
and food"
we are design to love the ghetto
because that is where we stay
my God promise us some things and He
is going to make that change today
As we speak, I pray for a better day
in this not so prayerful town.I ask thought
this poem for the whole
world to pray.
