World of Constant Sorrow

                                         Why do mortals cold of heart
                                         preach better days tomorrow?
                                     While trapped within,their bitter sins
                                      cause a world of constant sorrow?

                                   Their mouths speak fast their loathing
                                        Their hearts are filled with hate.
                                       Their minds are avoided reason...
                                          Their souls,a shameful state.

                                    And this sadness lives too common
                                       'tis a fact one does misconstrue.
                                       But for some,the evil is unaware
                                      They know not the things they do.

                                 So for spirits reaching out for redemption
                                     sending prayers to Heavens range...
                                          to defeat this world of sorrow....
                              THE CRUEL HEART MUST MAKE A CHANGE.
