What Have We Become?

[Hannah Capps]

I will follow the Lamb of God, wherever He would lead.

I’ll take up my cross, I’ll count the cost, no matter what it brings.

I found it hard to even sleep as this New Year’s wrung me dry.

Hark the Herald angels sing of new vaccine to try.

RNA ladder ascends to heaven, Jacobs matter, wrestled now we sing.

We though 100, million be, the called out few and far between.

Ham string up the traitors , to the cause that’s caused much woe!

We’ve been reaping the whirlwind, because of the wind we’ve sewn.

Wonderfully deft rhyming and imagery, Hannah.

A curiosity, though, did you intend to spell it 'traders' instead of 'traitors?'

Ham string up the traders, to the cause that’s caused much woe!

Thats skill right there. I applaud you for that

It works either way I was half awake when I wrote this.

I remember an old DC Talk song from 1997 “what have we become?” striking a chord in me as a preteen. I’ll post the lyrics here because they speak for themselves. For decades this has been a Spiritual heartsick issue that cannot be cured politically.

"What Have We Become?"

A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so

It was love that he'd been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin' further
Than his heart would choose to go.

Mom and Dad are fightin'
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake

With Christmas bells a-ringing
Little Rosie'd leave them grievin'
The gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take

An inconvenient child
She wasn't worth their while

What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?

Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become

Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become

What about love?
What about God?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?

You know it's true
He is there for me and you
Doesn't matter what you do

What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating

What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?

Selfish... [?]
With selfish... [?]
Selfish people.
