Drugs ruin
Alcohol ruins
Political stance ruins
A closed mind ruins
Religiousness ruins
The ruin is a hardened heart
Eyes that don’t see
Ears that don’t hear
A tongue that speaks froward things
But I still hold onto hope
Hope that the drug addict will be
Completely healed
Hope the alcoholic will overcome the urge
Hope political stances find common ground
Hope that closed minds will be opened
Hope that religiousness will give way
To the truth
Of unconditional love
From God
Who dwells within us all
If we believe
