Judgment

“But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.” ~Romans 2:5-11 I am at odds with this world bearing ill will toward all, There’s a moral outrage brewing within me that I’m unable to constrain… A scream I cannot voice, A pain I suffer in silence. It’s like I am on a crusade to right the wrongs of the people and punish those responsible, To exact revenge on those who have soiled the fabric of our society. Unbeknownst to me, this seething resentment is raging deep within my soul toward the self-serving segment — This unabashed hedonistic wasteful culture indifferent to the plights of the downtrodden, Pursuing pleasure and good life while the populace at large die of hunger. Some wallow in luxury and extravagance-- They hoard, they feast, they overindulge, unconcerned by the plight of the multitude living in a squalid condition deprived of the basic human needs. Yeah, there’s a rage within me and I am hell-bent on smacking the world down. There’re people in it who are evil and deceitful, selfish, corrupt, arrogant, marauders, warmongers and self-indulgent thugs. I like to put them in a chokehold and squeeze the life out of this egotistical lot... Lord, it’s time to unleash upon the world the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. ~03/04/23 ~Contest: Writing Challenge "J" words ~Sponsor: Constance La France
