Blind Faith Fosters Understanding
Still waters rage from the depths of hell.
The fiery furnaces’ forces propel.
No longer shall earth see speedwell or bluebell.
The cleansing fire has begun its deadly smell.
God’s created earth now feels its decadence.
Evil “ate” souls because men remained entranced.
Loosing self-restraint forced choosing right askance.
Strength and righteousness have lost their stance.
Azure dreams heap memories upon the seas.
White foam salts man’s wounds; usurped powers seize.
Disguised deceit winks on submerged marquees.
Lost freedom divides, crashes, burning jetties.
Unsuspecting factions can barely believe
How quickly schemes conceived deceive faith…naïve.
Smokey clouds hover as righteous ways leave.
The eye of God watches the faithless bereave.
Prophecies and signs help the faithful endure.
The earth rips asunder from places obscure.
The cleansing fire shall a paradise procure.
Freed by God’s begotten son, our Savior.
