Transition - Upside Down World

Transition – Upside down world 

The world is heavy, upside down.
Catch us quickly or we’ll fall.
The natural law no longer holds.
We’re juxtaposed in earth and sky.
The world is crumbling, upside down.
Can’t you see that wrong is right.
The basal self’s let loose and free.
There is no order to this crime.
The world is wailing, upside down,
crying for the newborn babes,
who cannot claim their own,
and know not of the deathly spite,
that lurks in human hearts.
The world will turn, right side up.
when Jesus reigns supreme,
and those who seek him soon will find
a heavenly home on Earth.

"The world is crumbling upside down. Can't you see that wrong is right." Is so true today. We do look forward to the end of this system where those who seek him will be in his Kingdom - heavenly to reign with him or earthly as his subjects.
