Poetry by Hanna Blankenship

OPEN OUR EYES

This life were given
We take it for granted
People we love and things we cherish
It’s almost as if we see right through them.

This world would be better off blind
Not knowing what’s good and bad.
Maybe if Adam didn’t eat the apple
This life would not be so dead.

People killing, people stealing
Why? Cause all we see is what WE want.
Only few decide to live for god.
So many are scared to give up everything.

How can you be scared?
Knowing you can be saved for life.
Your sins erased, gone, FOREVER
You can be cleansed by the blood of Jesus.

We should be scared of this world
All the Hatred and jealousy
The millions who cant eat
Because we have to pay for gas

We need to open our eyes to what is good
See what God is doing with us
Stand up, speak out, and make a change;
A change for you and me

 Become a follower of Christ and a leader
To all those who are lost in Hell on Earth.
