Not Immune

As violence overtakes the silent shadow

We wait in wonder and in woe

Unsure what the future holds

Once the fires burn cold

There’s no other shelter left where we can go.

For in our days there will be tribulation

And there is no excuse or justification

Trouble seems to reign at every turn

And watch as both law and order burn

We stand in grief o’er our broken nation

Another life is taken far too soon

The piper is playing a dire and doleful tune

The dirge is sounding low 

We don’t know what we don’t know

But we do know we are not immune

My heart is downcast for this devastation

My heart is groaning now for this situation

When hatred turns to violence

We cannot  remain in silence

There is only one hope for our salvation
