Poetry

---

How long will you say the things?
That seems to never make sense;
The fake news that only brings,
Division to build a fence.

How long will your words be wind?
That feels like only hot air;
Not divinely disciplined,
For to spiritually share.

Does the Lord distort justice?
Or falsify righteousness;
Would it be infelicitous?
Considered blasphemousness.

If your children opposed God,
Have been sinning against Him;
They will think He is a fraud,
For suffering makes them grim.

If you are searching for God,
Plead for mercy of your soul;
Giving Him honor and laud,
Letting Him to take control.

If moral and ethical,
Then He will rise up for you;
Proving you are biblical,
To Him that you remain true.

Then your past will seem so small,
Compared with prosperity;
At the time answer the call,
With your faith through charity.

Ask a past generation,
Find out what their fathers learned;
What was their aspiration?
Through wisdom that they had earned.

We have only been around,
For a week knowing nothing;
As our days make no sound,
A fleeting shadow will cling.

Do any words not have taught,
And utter them from their heart;
Will they not partake their thought?
So that your mind can impart.
