The Conclusion of the Delusion

Evil creeps upon the face of the earth Like lengthening shadows in a hot sun All that it touches loses its true worth Chaos and delusion, have now begun The ultimate illusion has caught man There is no stopping it until the end Driven by greed instead of one’s need It will seem like we’ve lost, then Truth will win You’re probably asking what we can do The light of God’s Love will show us the way In Him alone is the victory sure He’ll soon return, what a glorious day

Hello Bill. Good Morning. This is lovely. I especially liked your first quatrain and how smooth and poetic it is and how the rhyme was never forced. That one stanza alone is poetry Bill not that the rest of the entry isn't. And yes, you ended and left us with a positive note and thought. (smile) Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings always.

Yes if all come true and all the predictions the media insist will become a reality, we are deep in the soup. So all we can do is believe in our God Almighty and pray for the best my friend. Hugs an blessings,JENNIFER

If the media has to get it right, I think we'll be okay. They hardly ever get it right any more. :-) But I agree with your comment, my friend. Hugs, Bill

Yes as the world moves away from truthful values, it slips into a living hell, all power to those that still speak and write of love and the Lord.

Those who trust in Him have enriched lives and hearts. Always so my experience. And yet, there remains so much resistance. Well said, Bill.

The world is moving into ruin with evil growing in geometric proportions. Only God's love can save mankind ! These are words that have come from your sensitive heart with a hint of warning !

Bill Baker

Yes, Valsa, a hint of warning, for my heart aches for those that are caught up in hate and destruction. When a person begins to thing the only way to win is by spreading hate of others, it shows the lack of Love in there hearts and thus a lack of faith in Love, Truth and Light. Tearing down others, does not make one any better themselves. Thanks for the visit and comment, my dear friend. Life gets in the way of our poetry sometimes, whether reading or writing. Have a joyful day, Bill

I am very moved and energized by what you have written, my dear friend Bill. This poem is one of my favorites, and I think the final verse is particularly strong. The glow of Divine love illuminates the path before us, and it is only in him that we may find triumph. This is a beautiful poem to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of joining PS. It ought to be a POTD
