With all the skills at my command
I’ve struggled so to understand
Just how this world became so strange
And what occurred to make it change
Why would the spirit of the times
Assess no punishment for crimes?
And intellectuals agree
That violent felons should walk free?
It makes no sense
No sense to me
Why would a person change direction
If there’s no process for correction?
To set men free
A savior’s sent
I don’t think this is what He meant
There must have been some oversight
Ideas don’t change overnight
And so I look back to the schools
Which I think must be run by fools
Ask teachers what began our fall
There is no discipline at all
Back in the day, we feared detention
And other things I will not mention
But all those teachers have retired
Fail a student and you’re fired
We turn our eyes and pull the shades
There is no consequence, no grades
And if my friends, you’ve never learned
Success and punishment are earned
Why would you sanction or support
Someone else’s day in court?
So now I know with all my knowing
God is good
And Jesus saves
And when change comes in comes in ripples
Small inconsequential ripples
Not in monumental waves
