Listen

Listen to me world!

The days are darkened
by the lusts of men.
The nights are cheapened
by the greed of the
many for more and more and
more worthlessness.

Nations fight against nations.
Governments wage war against each other.
Cities suffer from natural disasters.
Homes are demolished in a moment
by floods and winds.
Towers crumble and bodies
are destroyed in a flash
of rage.

What is the answer?
What is the remedy?
When will the insanity stop?

Homes are deserted
by mothers and fathers making
money to merely survive.
Children die on the streets,
or, worse yet, live on the streets
with the rats,
and the vermin,
and the diseased minds made mad
by despair.

If
If….
If……..
only we would stop
and remember where we came from -
Who created us,
Who has the Master Plan,
Who allows us to sin,
Who allows us to rape,
Who allows us to destroy
His paradise…

If
If….
If…….
only we would acknowledge the Creator,
esteem His Holy Word,
recognize His beloved Son
as our Savior
and repent…

this disaster story would end
for each of us and
we would find redemption.

Listen to me world before you die
lost and unredeemed.
