Analysis of Running water
Doreene Felder 1967 (Phila.)
Are you running wisdom
With that vision
Are you changing a life
For your bad decision
Are you misleading others
Cause you want to be in charge
Find a good solution
Instead of mind pollution
Find a positive outcome
Instead of deceiving someone
What kind a person would you be
To destroy others lives
And try to remain free
What kind of person would you be
To destroy a life that God has set free??
