Poems (2)

Sleeping Nation, Arise!

Are you sleeping?
Letting the world slip away?
“Watch and pray,” says our Lord –
Don’t let these millions die.

While you were sleeping
Forty million hearts stopped beating.
Murdered for no just cause –
Deprived of God’s gift of life.

Are you sleeping?
Letting the world slip away?
“Watch and pray,” says our Lord –
Don’t let these millions die.

While you were sleeping
The voices of unborn babies cry.
“Save our generation –
We’re being slaughtered daily.”

Are you sleeping?
Letting the world slip away?
“Watch and pray,” says our Lord –
Don’t let these millions die.

Wake up from your slumber.
There’s no time to sleep.
126,000 babies murdered each day –
Nation…it’s time to take action.

Don’t be caught sleeping,
Letting the world slip away.
“Watch and pray,” says our Lord –
Don’t let these millions die.
