While

While politicians lie to cover up secrets, and teenagers pull triggers simply to be heard,
While mothers cry for their unborn children, and cancer patients give up hope of ever being cured

While everything ceases to make sense, and we turn on the television to find murder on every channel,
While each circumstance becomes worse than the first, and all that burns within our souls is a flickering candle,

While babies are murdered and trees are saved, and terrorists burn and kill in cold blood,
While streets are paved for the famous, and the poor live on streets in shacks made of mud,

While fathers sell their daughters for profit, and drugs destroy millions of innocent lives,
While many cry out "Stop it!" yet do nothing, and petty arguments ruin what were once strong ties,

While the homeless spend their days struggling, and the rich in homes of expensive stone,
While the lost never stop running, and banks are forced to give out impossible loans,

While girls starve themselves to death to impress, and animals lie hungry and abused,
While the world curses God yet suffers nonetheless, and those with answers lie in silence, uncaring and amused,

While trusted adults pillage and assault, and the lonely torture themselves without interruption, and all the world falls in confusion for the next occult,

What are you doing to stop this corruption?
