Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

Why are they running'

I hear the sound of a truth train now coming.'
Then I notice many people running.'
Why are they going back uphill.? 
In the wrong direction.? 
Into the darrkness lurking and still.'
Also back into treacherous times.?
Must be they are bad..?At reading the signs.?
I thought that they were all on board.' Within the
Mind. ? Have i been over optomistic, or to
This place, just blind.? I hear their words I'm aware of faces blurred.'I 
Feel their hunting breath, uncertain of much.' And scared to death, do  they know of life.? For that fact do I.? I must recalibrate, Oh me oh my.'

Bill Baker August 13, 2025 at 5:01 PM Many have never read the Book, they have no ideal what's is taking place right before their eyes. Many hearts have been hardened and they have eyes that do not see and ears that will not hear. God's mercy will give them 1000 years to turn to Him. (depending on one version of the end times). Thanks for sharing from your heart, my friend. All we can do now is share the Word. Blessings, Bill Joe Maverick August 13, 2025 at 10:45 PM I am but an unworthy servant Bill..Enough said.'
