I Shuddered

In the dark cold reality,
Unflinching vision world totality
I quivered at the quaking,
Twitching uncontrolled heaves shaking,
God's leaving town

My heart wobbled just thinking
The absence of some believing,
To be lost in such frailty
Kneeling to give an unholy fealty,
Ground sinking down

Hell's fires surely are baking
Truth is all in the damned faking,
Kings crowned in vacant royalty
Shudder to think of the loyalty,
Shops shutting down

Close your shudders!

It surely seems that many things are shutting down these days where so much evil is taking over the way of life as we knew it. A poem with wisdom we should heed Tim.
