Don'T Get High On God's Supply

High and mighty leaders brag, 
They own gas gold arms drugs
Whoah.. Quite a stash ' They'll 
Stick or sell, when it favours them'
These are righteous dignified
Women and men, there are Kings
And dukes and earls and Queens
Presidents and oligarchs and mighty
Smoke screens there are trumpets 
And tiles degrees and such, They're never
Seen to stoop to slinging muck; yet
They'll grab the power the gold and gems
It's all for the people that's their zen 
They'll fly the choppers and drive flash cars
They'll bribe any judge or military Czar
Yet in their headlong rush, in their ivory towers 
They loose true sight if God's true power 
Don't be 'like them' if you're in God's fold?
His power and strength its really  untold.'
Walk In integrity..revere Him; here I'll be bold 
Never take Glory: or keep power; stay safe be told
And never ever; be led to take on the 
Mantle and trapping of power and pride..
In words stay clear, how? and why? 
Because
You'll regret;  getting high; on God's supply.!

Joe: Such a powerful write and shines the light on what we all see becoming so clear. Corruption on an unimaginable scale. We cannot speak truth to power when there is censorship. And greed. SuZ

Such a powerful write my dear friend. Many are now fallen into the deepest pit of sin because of greed, selfishness, pride etc. May those people come to see the truth and repent before it's too late . Thanks for sharing this awesome piece. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks also for your precious time reading and commenting my work. God bless you always. Hugs

We have a nation of human beings. All equal in Gods sight. We do pass judgement far too fast on too many in power here. Criminals? Oh, they are Ok...welfare cheats..,they are OK, too. The evil at PS is only in power? I know killers, addicts, drunks..but they get halos? NO! It’s how it is at PS. Only leaders are Sinners. I try to look at my whole life. I agree with Christ... let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.Evil people are in all classes. Life is far from pefect. Good poem, Joe!PR

"yet They'll grab the power the gold and gems It's all for the people that's their zen" Great writing, Joe. Clear vision, driven by love for God, and veneration of His Creation. Indeed, when man usurps God's Powers, instead of co-creators, we become independent destroyers. Wow! What do you really think?:)
