Our Worst Enemy - Not for Contest

  
	  ~ “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” ~
                                                            ~ FDR, 1933

                   Even though I am no FDR
                      And I do not want to start a war

                   I do think there is something to fear beside fear
                      That something is Almighty God, please lend me an ear

                   He loves us, and we should love Him
                       But without fear, there’s no such thing as sin

                    And if our only appeal is to logic or man’s reason
                        War will be Peace, Truth – Lies, Patriotism – Treason

                    In fact, it seems the world is almost there now
                         Time to get back to fearing God again, somehow

Totally agree! The world has no sense when it moves away from God!
