Notes About The Poem

The Red Letters

The Red Letters

They stand out in the bible, 
because they are the very word of God.
Pay attention. 
Don’t miss anything more.
You may need to know this stuff later. 
When there are far fewer people, 
to help you. 

They are selling off our resources
to foreign lands like there is no tomorrow;
because there is not going to be one, 
unless we wake up in time to say, “no”. 
There will be great changes, 
and few will believe they are real. 
Even when they are presented to them;
in public and before all others.

Cheaters and eaters of the day, 
wasting away thinking about tomorrow…
that will not come, at all.  
Mice, rats, small creatures…
that eat things no one else wants, 
to find out they have great value.

But not again…
to anyone that matters.
only the small, 
that want to be tall…
after all.


Free, until they knock down the door... and then...

Well said my friend. A teacher of mine once said History is written so we will know what happened and not let history repeat itself. That's what happens when we don't pay attention. Great job here. God Blewss, JB
