A lone voice whispers in 2025

I can see All the way from in here That the fate of the world is on a precarious knife-edge The black-robed vultures Are gathering In secret covens and lodges For their Great Cull Carefully planned and patiently waiting On their gilded governmental ledges For The Last Harvest The Great Play Paradise For the nuclear family Has been torn asunder Alongside Religion Family values Gender By the throw Of a black and white dice Announcing new agendas As in boats Missed placed nations Sail and wonder Will I find freedom From my old kingdom Just to drown and freeze To death In cold waters As politicians Ponder Argue Reflect And hatred Interjects Faith in a Higher Power In retrospect Seems Demeaned and hated By those with no nerves As churches are Closed By Elites Leaving people with Nowhere to go Musing In silence In defeat But they The Elites They'll get what they deserve When Hell opens Up its doors And they are duly Served You may feel Alone Scared Insecure Or in pain Moving slowly In between jagged lines But your God knows Who's lost their faith And needs a boost A touch of The Almighty's grace Through a sickness Delivered by followers of darkness So all I can say Is pray Pray Pray everyday And God will try to remedy All that comes Whatever may For as Jeremiah 29:11 says For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. As Deuteronomy 31:6 says Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” So in Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Quoting Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. So to Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. And ending with Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. Be strong. The light must keep shining For kindness and compassion To keep winning Against those swimming In The Devil's Dark Unforgiving Waters By constantly Sinning (C) Copyright John Duffy
