The Era of Terror

The Era of Terror The Era of terror is upon us- the world is in turmoil The raging plains are complaining The need to pray is necessary- Tornadoes whirl across the skies Hurricanes destroy whatever is in their path Tropical storms rally against-mankind Earthquakes cracks open the earth and swallow up whatever Lies in its way- The skies turn purple in its agony, saying, “Let be whatever maybe”- The oceans will be violent- in its ecstasy Spewing forth the dead and bringing the earth to its knees- The world is in an angry vortex so full of vile- Sinister lies the sullen smiles Sneering at the approach of man Closing tighter and tighter until the end- Come forth and lie down unheeded- let your defenses rise Give vent to what is- needed Pray for what is- depleted. Conquer up a world of calm Take heed to those whose “pose” to come Keep a forever -watchful eye Take heed ‘o’ those- non-seeing and dumb- For- the age of terror is upon us- the world is in turmoil The need for praying is necessary- The Era of terror is upon us-

Nice write, but do consider how long humans have prayed for peace and prosperity . . . . . .

Thanks, and we as humans have still not learned to be consistent and faithful.
