Looking Glass
We looked through the looking glass
to see what we could see
We looked at mankind's history past
and of the promised future that's to be
We studied the pain and suffering
and of all the things we brake
of what peace on earth will bring
the paradise of which you spake
We have contemplated lives entwined with ours
upon their hearts and thought
the lack of tender childhood find
and the painful life that it has brought
We have listened to all the stories
and paid attention to lessons laid
considered all virtuous glories
and the commands of Love you bade
Even still with all we've sought
perfection in ourselves we do not find
instead we this accursed lot
that affects our hearts and mind
Seems no matter how hard we strive
it is imperfection we all do
we find the law of sin alive
the impossibility of faultess true
We sought out wisdom and foolishness
found pleasure and stabbing pain
our education is oft lost on us
our own stupidity in mind takes reign
Only one example has shown the Light
of what a faultless man could be
in every instance his judgment right
displayed an understanding we could see
If ever there was beauty to be found within a man
someone must have witnessed it and showed a divine plan
nothing in mankind's history has overcome his lust for war
its beyond our imagination to die for Love our overture
A majestic character and personality
you have sought to teach
with human stories with their understanding
each ones heart have sought to reach
James 1:22-25
