The Chosen

Whisper the death of many to come
How could you have known?
You only spoke to some
Only some were shown
Yet they saved themselves on that day
The rest, they perished alone
Were you forced by god to pray
You chose the righteous as you roamed
You had the power
You cast it aside
Caused many to cower 
Because of your pride
The failing that is you
Compounds now each time
There is now nothing you can do
What you did, an unforgivable crime

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed."
