Why Not Stop, Look, Listen, and Observe?

Who can cause rain? and Who can give showers? Who relieves our pain? and Who has all powers? Who can give us prophetic things? and then give us spiritual wings? Why are we so rotten? Who have we forgotten? Why are we in many a chain? Why do we serve these idols in vain? Why do we , The Word, ignore? Why do we not question more? Why are we broke? Why did we fear that joke? Why are there vanities? and many insanities? Who do we worship? Why wear a kerchief? Why are they full of propaganda? Why, Our God, do they slander? What about the weak? Why do we not speak? Why are we so slack? Where is the bone in our back? Why do we not.... Stop, look, listen ,observe? Maybe this trial we do so deserve? Maybe the wrong One, we actually serve? Why do we not look to the prophets? Why not look to Zephaniah? Why not repent to get out of the fire? Why not look to Jeremiah? Why not repent to get out of the mire? Why for Satan's System are we a slave? Why will we not bend , and learn to behave? Why not seek Our God while there is hope? Why not die brave, instead of a mope? Why is there no peace in the land? Why have we left from holding His hand? Why when we cry "Peace and Security" sudden destruction will come? Why are we not full of God's wisdom? What about the chaos we deserve ? Why not stop, look, listen, and observe? Copyright McCuen 2008
