Invested Irony

Heaven help us when our youth
demand some proof
of a god above

For they cannot see
what may be
a higher form of love

We, the elders, are concerned tonight
that our children are not alright

They have no faith and no hope
our kids don't believe the pope

Not what is said
or what is read
can set them back on course

We can see
a tragedy
they're once held faith divorced

Heaven help us when our youth
demand some proof
of a god above

For they cannot see
what may be
a higher form of love

What can be done
to end this one
this tragic loss of faith?

if they believed
that they were not being deceived
even with an eighth

of love for him
we could begin
brain-washing them all over again
to see the light again
