For Rachael - a Reposting From 2010

Earth of gray, Something dreadful on the horizon looms. There is no black and no white today, Laws exist but justice is doomed. Morality is labeled religion, And must be separated from state, Whose own religion is political correctness And determining God's fate. Oh heaven rain down on us, We are tasting your tears. Yes we've become that bad, Confirming your fears, That what has been done , is being done again, Those lessons taught, coming to naught. Judges and laws make it legal, to be rid of your innocent babes, Under a symbol of the eagle, God's loving justice betrayed. Racheal you cry the tears, that now only heaven supplies, because ours have dried, In the dust of our alibies. Excuses and lies are linked, As you and I know well, The truth is all but extinct. Truth is foreign to hell. Oh heaven, look down on this world of gray. Something dreadful is watching and looms. Is there nothing left but to watch and pray, While Rachael wails by the dumpster tombs?

Just touching base with something wonderful again. Never get tired of these that touch the inner parts.

This is so graphic and beautiful Robert and I have it in my favs too. A very meaningful verse, funny we should both write on such an obscure subject. Maybe we are kindred spirits! Luv Elizabeth
