Downfall

Will we be ready if our country goes to war?
Will we be doing the things to make our lives better?
Can we sacrifice the luxuries we used before?
Can we help others and be a pacesetter?

What can one individual do to make a difference?
What can two do to simplify a important problem?
If we see a wrong, will we try to make it right?
If we lose our home or family where will we sleep tonight?

It is happening now in other places.
It is happening now to young or old.
Watching the news, shows us bitter faces.
Talking to victims makes your blood run ice-cold.

Have you seen or heard enough?
Will the world answer the victims' call?
We are not playing blindman's bluff.
We are planning to keep from having our own downfall.
