Deadlocked

Deadlocked What tipped the scales what has caused the rift, the straw that added the extra weight...Or was it a feather? Have the lights gone out, has the grid finally, broke? Leaving us again depending on God; And his scary Revelations.! Clutching our blankets for heat. We wait for man to repair that which he has put in place to fail. Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong for sure. We used to know that before we stopped misplacing our convictions. When neighbors knew, it was all or none; When rent-parties and waistline parties, were how we got through the worse days. But now we just yell “save yourselves”; Pack-up some pillows; Grab your smartphones and outrun the storm until your gas has finished; Or until no--one accepts your money for a bottle of clean water. When shops are closed and the super wealthy has Imposed upon you, their plan; Plans which separates, God from man. Leaving you to appeal to selfish men with deadlocked hearts.

Hello Vicki I have read your comment and I would be very grateful if you could direct me to the poem you say I left a comment on as I have not been here for over a year, my account was hacked a few months ago someone was leaving comments in my name which I did report, thank you.

David when I run across it I'll be sure to get your attention. I knew something was strange, and it did not seem as something you would have said.
