The Chosen

Whisper the death of many to come How could you have known? You only spoke to some Only some were shown Yet they saved themselves on that day The rest, they perished alone Were you forced by god to pray You chose the righteous as you roamed You had the power You cast it aside Caused many to cower Because of your pride The failing that is you Compounds now each time There is now nothing you can do What you did, an unforgivable crime

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed."
