The Problems of Society

The problems of society lies with mankind
so much gone wrong, where does one start?
everyone looks after number 1, self do rule
men have lots to answer for in no small part

The feminist movement risen in power
where now the ladies showing who leads
in all strands of society they show themselves
politics, business and sport all over indeed

Reasons for this I believe quite clear
men have dodged responsibility to own
their's it is to be one in charge
too soft letting the seeds be sown

In the holy scriptures God has laid down
what is good for the world that He did create
for God created man first then woman
as His purpose for her to be man's  help mate

If only this practise had been kept to
then God's purpose would have been shown
His blessing be evident for all to see
but sadly sin's evidence is clearly known

(Recently I was asked a question about what would you say is the problem with society from a man's perspective? so this piece tells my thoughts and answer to that question).

Hello Gordon … at this time, it’s the Entitlement generation who are driving humanity into a spiral but it won’t last. We should look at bee or ant colonies to live in peace where every individual has a role to play for survival. Thanks again Gordon - Lindsay

Ah my sisters will probably disown me for this but I totally agree with you. However some men don't appreciate a good help mate. the more you do for them the more they expect you to do and never give anything back. Good stuff here anyway Gordon. God Bless, JB

Thanks Judy, Your sisters may well do!! so I am honoured to have your support as I didn't think I would have any ladies on my side. I trust you don't judge all us guys with the same brush for some of us I trust would treat you gals as ladies as we should for Scripture clearly says to love our wives as Christ loves His church (Ephesians 5: 25). God bless, Gordon

Thought provoking Gordon, mankind has certainly taken the wrong path. I suppose we all have to shoulder the blame both men and women. Tom
