These Are The Times by Latonia Sears
So many in debt and
so many others going under
these are the times that make
us think which make us wonder
About the things we can’t change
everything is so different these days
really looks and sounds strange
These are the times when your every day
has become so fast paced
can’t slow down for this thing
we call the rat race
I can just imagine the stories you
have heard around town, on the news,
on the corner or even in the schools
These are the times
when we must stick together
break bread and say
a prayer with one another
Stop hurting start hugging
join hands and do something
stand beside each other
you know like brothers
Yes these are the times
that turn mice into men
and foe into friend
So what will we do
where will we go
don’t you know?
Time is ticking
while days are passing
make a decision
no more guessing
These are the times
not to run and hide
stand up be brave
show some pride
Yes these are the times
when “We The People”
have to make a change
and get on the bus
Remember these are the times
when you need to participate
because after all aren’t you
a part of this place?
