Time To Check Out

A world in need of spiritual balm
 Many have lost the way,
 Your faith may give you a lift
 When from the truth you start to drift

 The prophets have told us of the times to come
 Where beastly motives will prevail,
 A new world order to mark the times,
 And a 3 digit number will rule the day

 Economies ruled by a beastly mark
 No cash or card needed at the register,
 Raise your hand, get it scanned
 It's time to check out!

Many will lose the way as you say, Joseph... Even Lord Jesus Himself said, "Will I find faith?"

Spiritual guidance is needed, because there's so many false teachers out there. Many wonderful blessings to you, my dear friend. Hugs, Brandy

It was so clever that it almost seemed like a proverb to me. Very well done, and what a shame that many people will fail this Artificial time;

Then God plants the Garden of Eden, a beautiful paradise for the man and woman to enjoy. God places the tree of life in the middle of the garden, this means Eternal Life! AI is inevitable, Joseph~

Well written, Joseph. So pity that many lost the way.
