Turbulent Waters

Turbulent waters have flooded the earth.  We watch, we
pray; seemingly helpless as family and friends are swept
away; spewing hate, placing blame, professing truth as
lies and lies as truth.

How far has man fallen when he can no longer disseminate
right from wrong; when rape, murder, pillage of lands 
and destruction of values becomes the status quo?
How easily man is led; as sheep to the slaughter without a
fight; to our enemy's delight.

The war for the survival of humanity is in full force.  The 
enemy is relentless; not allowed to cease; they come to 
steal, kill and destroy.  Lines are being drawn; each person 
deciding to which side they will permanently belong.
