Looking Glass

We looked through the looking glass

to see what we could see

We looked at mankind's history past

and of the promised future        that's to be

 

We studied the pain and suffering

and of all the things we brake

of what peace on earth will bring

the paradise of      which you spake

 

We have contemplated lives entwined with ours

upon their hearts and thought

the lack of tender childhood find

and the painful life that       it has brought

 

We have listened to all the stories 

and paid attention to lessons laid

considered all virtuous glories

and the commands of Love      you bade

 

Even still with all we've sought

perfection in ourselves we do not find

instead we this accursed lot

that affects our hearts            and mind

 

Seems no matter how hard we strive

it is imperfection we all do

we find the law of sin alive

the impossibility of          faultess true

 

We sought out wisdom     and foolishness

found pleasure    and stabbing pain

our education is oft lost on us

our own stupidity           in mind takes reign

 

Only one example has shown the Light

of what a faultless man could be

in every instance his judgment right

displayed an understanding        we could see

 

If ever there was beauty to be found within a man

someone must have witnessed it and showed a divine plan

nothing in mankind's history has overcome his lust for war

its beyond our imagination     to die for Love our overture

 

A majestic character and personality

you have sought to teach

with human stories with their understanding

each ones heart                have sought to reach 

 

James 1:22-25
