    Lost Nation

    Lost are we
    Lost are we indeed
    A nation once stood under God
    A nation once prosperous
    A nation once strong
    A nation once just
    Oh, lost are we indeed.

     Murder is permitted
    Yet the word of God is not
    Not a prayer uttered
    His name not mentioned once
    How I fear the wrath of God
    His great awakening
    Lost
    So lost are we.

    I can so easily relate to your poem. The world sometimes ,feels to me, to be so filled with hate and injustice that it test my faith.

    Every day is absolutely a test of faith. It is good that we recognize that, though.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
