A Big Failure

The Year 2016 is swiftly taking off,
blasting fireworks weave superb designs;
the Year 2015 was without Smirnoff,
but what are the changes Man promises?
  
My simple answer may shock you: finding God
and asking Him for biblical wisdom
is the solution to our problems not yet resolved;
He is the cure of this social symptom! 

Election's fever is sweeping throughout the Country,
competition is a race of mockery and insults;
all they talk about is changing our society...
what is missing? Who delves deeper in their thoughts?

If I alienate myself and hide in my safe den,
I can only protect myself from the gunfire of mad men
who pledge allegiance with a compulsive mind;
doesn't a true and loving God hate violence of any kind?

There is no other god before me, before others there is Satan;
I only pray to the One who gathers clouds and makes rain fall,
heeding the predictions of astrologers can stir much concern... 
nothing is far from the truth: they see those signs on every wall! 

The Year 2015 should be marked, " A Big Failure " on every calendar as a year
of spiritual and material needs, also of dangers and catastrophes;
we can have a great resolution for ourselves by drawing new plans...
when all is peaceful and very calm, we may lose all to an unpredictable disaster!
