give me this

give me:
an opportunity
to find the unity,
escape futility,
to use ability,
enjoy tranquility,
to pray continually,
to fight resiliently,
to give abundantly,
escape the pleasantries
that've fundamentally
skewed society
into life illicitly,
without simplicity,
lived complacently
while still adjacently
dwelling continuously
besides the marginally
poor with families,
products of fallacy,
lies and policies,
forgotten overseas
and on our city streets.
wheres integrity?
we live indebtedly
to a God who pitied me,
loved emphatically
to all humanity,
who sacrificially
gave his progeny
to hang upon a tree,
so we could finally
live abundantly
as slaves that been set free.

how can it be our stance
to live with arrogance,
pleading innocence
because of ignorance,
within our decadence?
forget the innocents?
fuel belligerence?
forget benevolence?
ignore the violence
that lies beyond the fence,
where towns are made of tents
where all the residents
are fearful immigrants
who fled the dominance
of wicked governments?
seek opportunity
to find some unity
in close communities
with all our families.
not walking lawlessly
or drenched in policy,
slowed by apathy.
instead with empathy
living constantly
with sensitivity.
to live courageously,
to give outrageously,
to love contagiously,
with authenticity,
with all humility
for all eternity.

give me this.
thats what i pray.
