Belligerent Lives

The time is here for the world to see
Just what it has become-
A nation under seize and war in which
To safety cannot run.
Innocent be the children with no future to behold.
So young the little victims; and yet,
So very old.
So, it states in Revelations that in so coming ,
It shall pass
To unfold the manifestation, humanity in itself 
May not last.
Decision lay upon us, united as a nation or a whole
Be gone with war and criminals and in so doing,
No console.
Passivity is our ruin if we succumb belligerent lives
And in so doing, our hearts, souls and minds
We compromise.
It’s not through evil ways that true evolution
May take place
But in harmony in influence on every scale,
For every race

Yes, I did like the message and the poem itself. We need to see a child as a child, not black, white, red or yellow. We need to see a neighbor as a neighbor. If not, we may be moving up the time for judgment day. This should have been featured. Vince

Your warning comes through loud and clear, Kimberly. And I agree with every word. Very well done. This is a poem I needed to see today. Thank you for directing me to it. We have to take action to reverse the course of violence or "humanity in itself may not last." Great poem! Love, Carolyn

Yes, the time of economic fall is very close, unfortunately humanity will not see the truth any other way. We must be strong in the love that we are as this event comes upon us. Stay awake, dear one. God bless, Sincerely Moses
