Laura Leiser Poet Acrostic

Sign of the Times

S olemn strikes the hour of society’s discontent
I see angry fists rise up with shouting and protests
G hastily grave disasters, ISIS terrors mark headlines
N ation against nation, shootings and high crimes.

O nly the naive live in blindness to it all
F uture fears and worries, will mankind finally fall?

T he Apocalypsis scenario plays often in my mind
H arrowing events will come to usher in End Times
E ver watching, God above is Sovereign, not surprised. 

T o look ahead and see, from this world to the next
I see increasing chaos, until God fulfills His quest
M arvelous will be the day when Christ returns again
Every knee will bow, He’ll reign and judge the deeds of man
S in and suffering will cease, peace and life will never end.

I am reading this in Istanbul and just watched evening prayer on the pavement in front of a mosque from a little balcony. i felt that those men are praying for all of us.
