Unforeseen

No rules, laws or borders, killing for guns and gasoline
           This is the world order, a blackened future unforeseen.
                                           ~ “The Rise of Chaos” by Accept.      
                       
Unforeseen dangers may lurk in the wings
Oh Lord, I have seen some fearful things,
Woe be thy providence for thus deceiving me
For what do I see? I see malevolence set free.

What a wanton trick you have played on me?
Lord, if ever thy face by the daylight I see
I’ll proclaim thy judgment has gone amiss
In the scheme of things, Man is easy to dismiss.

Congratulations on this great winner in Constance's contest. Way to go. Yes, the world in which we live is a dangerous one from what mankind is doing to others. Sara
