Squandering Thoughts

Despite the present pike pandemonium in our life,
Those in charge would have us to think it’s a Greek joke;
That we must continue to deal with present-day strife
As if it is a temporary faith-testing suffering bearing yoke.

Yes, like the Pharaohs of old, they have depended on the faith of us
Who have never failed to put our belief in the God that we trust;
Not understanding that we’ve never had to test the promised word
But with divine wisdom and guidance, practiced what we had heard.

Like our ancestral beings at the slave ships slaving home-land docking,
Know that we too will survive with that same wisdom and guidance
To overcome the present days’ shadowed earthquake-like rocking
For we are ever energized by the ever-flowing lightning radiance;

Be not afraid of the choices that you have spiritually made,
Praying with divine wisdom and guidance, it‘s the thing to do
That you do not have to worry about the promise that’s been said;
Solidified by the true faith that’s been given to faithful you:-
