The End of the Innocence

I see all of the tragedies all around as even the tallest mountains shake
Who says this is stable ground as now in Nepal yet another earthquake
I seen floods and their wicked path the tsunami that is coming ashore
The hurricane in all it's wrath yet an arsenal that contains even more

I see hailstones the size of baseballs and drought that's only just begun
As each past whether record falls yet the Earth is certainly not yet done
For the storms seem to get worse yet no one's really paying attention
Like our own self style created curse as morals are but a mere mention

Three thousand died in America yesterday but oh yeah they were unborn
And let the world also add their say and why His people are under scorn
Three thousand more today with a sky so blue and 3,000 more tomorrow
The world having taken your soul from within leaving you with no sorrow

We can't predict such disaster as we should have learned from the past
The Lord is King and Master who'd dare break but even one of His cast
To many there is no connection in direct contrast to The Creators Word
Psalms 22:31 is of God's election despite from man what you've heard

Your words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your imagination and talent. It flows like the currents of life with a realistic crispness. Emile.

I do agree, Vincent. We have gone down a slippery slope in this nation (USA) and turned our backs from Christian morality, the plight of the unborn, the definition of true God ordained marriage, etc. Thank God, He is still on the throne. He is still Sovreign, and someday will right all wrongs.

So true! It's like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and friends shaking their finger at God. And that never works out to well for such Nations. Thank you for your kind comment and may God continue to Bless You!
