Silence

Tragedy captured the breath.
Nobody can ever seem to get use to death.
After 9/11 or Katrina America did not utter a sound.
The media brainwashed us with the Twin Towers going down.
We repeatedly seen our fellow Americans falling to the ground.
In Louisiana we even seem them drown.
My heart aches and my eyes are sore.
I hear crying and prayer from shore to shore.
A country that is constantly on bended knees.
Every year we have a new enemy.
We have to keep the faith and trust in Father God Our Master.
The time is ending so beware of wild weather patterns and disasters. 
Is it me put time seems to be moving faster.
So we cannot walk by sight.
Neither should we live in fright.
I also do not agree with this increasing violence.
In our hearts there should be peace, love and silence.

Romans 4:13   It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise
that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Genesis 15:1  God's Covenant With Abram   After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram
in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”
