Pea Soup

Thick pea soup fog lingers in air Coats the trees everywhere Sun's presence covered behind clouds The mood set is despair Crickets chatter in surround sound There must be hundreds now Coating dark places under trees Soon no man left to plow The plague has hit a nation One that says sin is fine How long before judgement will come What thoughts possess sin's minds Now is the time for revival People let's get our hearts in tune No way we can stay a strong nation Unless repentance comes soon___ Finis' I heard on the news that the plague from years ago has hit our nation out west in the Yosemite National Park..The kind that infects rats and fleas..If a human gets bitten from it death can come..

I agree with you that God did not create man an animal though we share similarities in the way we are made. Some Christians believe it is proper to pray for their pets. I know of no scripture that supports this view. Animals have no future as humans do (at least those who are worthy), forChrist's sacrifice, in my belief, is for humans only. Sorry, ran out of space. Thanks for reading my poem. / M
