It Isn't Just a Rumour
by
Alice c. Bateman
I have stood among the people
But not stood in their way
I have watched them grow and change
As they pass me every day
For most of a whole decade
I've listened and I've seen
I don't like what is happening
It's getting way too mean
We murder unborn babies
Put our old folks into homes
And spend huge sums of money
On shiny bits of chrome
We're disgusting Mother Nature
And God is getting mad
He's going to come and show us
What it means to be our Dad
I hope you can look back and say
I've lived an honest life
Loved all of my children
Been faithful to my wife
I've never hurt a neighbour
Nor killed a friend or foe
And if I lose direction
God shows me where to go
If these things aren't true of you, my friend
You'd better change your ways
It isn't just a rumour
This talk of Judgement Day
