City of God Or Cities of Man
B Before the Virus may be a reckoning among calendars
A As we deal with one bigger than Depression, topsy-turvy times -
B Before Virus (BV) I loved the World Markets, welcomed China
Y Yuan, Yen, Dollar, Pound ... though some weakened ours, the Rand
L Losing confidence, or hubris now, what do we do as we reduce travel?
O Oh, of course there is the internet. Only our City wants people. Lots!
N Now, AV (After Virus) we water veggie patches, returning to village lives
I In fear of another pandemic, or Great Depression. Trump lost a trump card
S Someone forget to tell us, "CITIES" are a bad way to grow nations
F Filth and gain, creativity and perfidy, grow with shamelessness in a city
A And not to mention the waste produced, entitlement, so much polluted
L Leaving to hinterland to offer landfills - plus the enormity of sewage!
L Leave the city, the City of the World, for you do access another
I In the Last Days, the City of Man will not stand, not even feed itself
N Now is the time - whether you pray or not - to go back to DESIGN
G God for me, or Eternity With Name, gave Ezekiel a blueprint for The City
