Distractions

Distractions, distractions day in day out
Helping us ignore what's really right...
Taking our minds off the important things
Our true life purpose: our eternal life to come
Ah dear Lord we are continually led astray
Keeping the important things at bay...
Inane television programs: frivolous stuff
Supposedly educational but it's tough
Choose between the simple silly cartoons
The adventures into the magical fairyland
Honestly there is so much junk to choose from
But what about nature and our dear Lord?
What about teaching our little ones
About honesty and joy and love
About giving to the poor: about heaven above
There are iPads, iPhones, tablets, computer games
Subliminal signals telling our little children to buy
"Buy it now" before another day goes by
New toys for Christmas: new toys for birthdays
It's all about having things and more things next day
People dedicating their lives to games they play
So many distractions to take up our time of day
Such a shame that we waste our time this way
