This World Reeks In Deep Decay

This World Reeks In Deep Decay


For what we know will stand,
how one becomes a decent man
Hold to Godly principles dear.
Stand your ground, do not fear! 
This dark day shall one day pass,
Best to seek out truth in mass.
This world reeks in deep decay,
Innocence the price we must pay!

Fear not the threats of dread,
hope exists for all not dead.
Listen to wisdom when it is sent,
follow a true heart's intent.

Yet again heed the coming call,
Warning of evils, do not fall,
Sell your soul not for false gain
for judgment shall come yet again.
Deny false comfort and lazy ease,
seek not jaded fools to please.
Expect punishment for your good,
hold true knowing well you should.

Climb each mountain with zeal,
for faith is what is truly real.
Blessings come as your just reward
forgive all, mercy is not so hard!

Hi Again Robert. Very well put, my friend. We must stay loyal to the qualities God has given for that is where true joy lies. The road my become distorted and bent and be hard to endure but we are never alone. Your right, mercy is not so hard with God by your side. Well written, my friend..... Robert.
