Running Out of Time
I
In this nation we buy airtime
Or Data for internet access, and texting
After church I see I'm low on airtime
And Data. From poems, I may seek vacation
II
But the world is running out of time
For reforming our ways, for environment, home
May I add, Time for prayer, or lockdown again
Omicron has not killed ... yet. A sinister plan?
III
Take heart; powerful folk may not need prayer
Weaker ones like me need my Savior more than ever
We are running out of time; and the LORD, of patience?
As elites play God, ignoring Hebrew exile, Flood of Noah
IV
Pray my dear siblings, for humane talk, and Jub-Jub "smasher"
In this nation, Amanda Dupont was "raped for two years,"
Per SABC Sunday Radio broadcast, by Jub-Jub, culture leader
As we begin 16 days to stop GBV, new or ancient virus?
NOTE: GBV, in South Africa means; gender Based Violence, where killing of women and females as young as 6 years, made news this week (following rape, usually). This is sad news almost daily. We have several pandemics in our modern cultures, education notwithstanding.
