Image for the poem I Have Seen

I Have Seen

I watch over the earth and the human race
I have seen the worlds disgrace

I've seen the darkness enough to know when it has won
I have seen the damage that greed has done

I have seen people kill to live one more day
I've seen more desperation than words can say

Sins in the name of the father and the son
I have seen the holy come undone

Children stolen from a sea of worn out faces
I have seen some forgotten places

The darkest hearts are in my view
I have seen the worst of you

I've seen the weak defeat the strong
I have seen right beat wrong

I've seen the connection between two minds
I have seen the sighted lead the blind

All this life that I have seen
To be seen for me is just a dream.
