I Beg You – v3

The prayers are still needed
to repair what was lost
the net cut asunder
too many lives lost

The plea of a mother
of others speaking
joining together
crying out to you
as if with one voice

I beg you to reconsider
the precipice before us
the choice you are making
leading to the pit

A judgment on us all
if we continue on this path
how we treat our neighbors
our hands on their heads
becoming our sacrifice
