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
