Voices of Man

Voices of man,
always we hear
and we listen.

We heed to man and
to what our great
leaders have to say.

For almost 2,000
years another man
has been pleading

with us to do
right, God's word
says, its better

to listen to
God than man,
but we refuse,

our way is
better than
God's, we think.

So our trouble
will get worse,
until we heed,

to God's voice,
and not,
voices of man.

James - I just commented on Vince's poem I couldn't agree more - Our country is going to crumble from with-in. We are our worst enemy and the working class is about to be put in a hopeless situation - I find it odd that we are so arrogant that we think we are above being broken - God has got to be frowning on the way this country is headed - God Bless
