Time of Misery and Depression

In time of misery and depression… 
 When justice is oppression…
   The law is a crime… 
    And business is to kill and maim..
     Many turns to God and worship.. 
      Hoping to pass the hardship …
       Others lose life hope.. 
        Dangling from a knot of a lonesome rope…
         Though dark is the fate… 
           A lot will fail the tempting bait

Great write. At one time or another we have all been there. Some of us have come out, others never have. God is the answer. Many blessings. Lucilla

There are indeed many turns to god ! But with strength of character and a steadfast intellect we can - and will travel straight and avoid them !
