This work was written in 2020..when a shameful unlawful 'Coupe' was raised against the Seat of our Government!!! Caused by a disgruntled ousted individual who refused to accept the 'Voice of the People', who voted againt him, he attempted to physically 'over-throw' our Democracy...and innocent blood was shed! THIS SAME INDIVIDUAL IS ONCE AGAIN NOW, IN 2024, ATTEMPTING TO COME BACK AND SIT IN THE HIGHEST LEADERSHIP SEAT OF OUR NATION... WE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS MUST NOT FORGET.... The Leader of anything, be it a small organization or a country, has great influence over it. Who the leader is, that is to say�how they think, eventually affects all. I say this to say� our present national discord (even drawing attention internationally) is a pot which been boiling for the last 4 years and now sadly is threatening to over-flow once again. We can only pray�knowing and embracing the fact that the ...Love of Almighty God Reigns... and...Still Watches over...our Great Nation and...All...of its Citizens! Amen. Presing-on!

Oh, the cantankerous…Things…that grow… and fall…from a tainted leader’s soiled robe! it is these festered, smelly…Things which…manifest…with a great show revealing vile influence…from a heart… that’s been baked...with racism’s dough thru our tears we watch unjust…Things performed under an evil glow… murders…with no fear of reprisal, for in a matter of time, experience has told… strings…will be pulled by a…tainted leader who’ll exonerate and let the guilty…go! What of these…Things…that rake the very…soul? things…obviously risen from below… these so hurtful…killing…Things!? cruel acts…that disturb and ache so! where shall we turn for…relief…from pain of emotions…tossed…to and fro?! how shall we continue onward and upward despite these grievous attacks by racism’s crow? my, my…have we forgotten…so soon?! we serve The Almighty God who looks low… who tells us; two wrongs has never made a right His Word says…In His Peace…we must sow God gave us an example…a bright bow one who persevered…regardless the dank trow remember, Martin did it…and never broke a law… taking steps with purpose…without inflicting a blow he marched…God’s Way…demonstrating strength! thus, mimic not a leader, who has rotten grass to mow who pleases supremist, refusing to see or condemn sending army to quell a fire pruned with his racist hoe but let us be strong and follow God, praying for faith the whole world spies our plight…many have it in stow but more than this…these tribulations? Are only…Things… already Overcome by The Love of Christ…this we know! Jhn 14:27 & 16:33, Matt 5:44, 1Jhn 4:21, Rom 12:19 copyright; jmsbell/6/7/2020

A very powerful, deeply evoking, and loving poem that ought to be read by anyone who truly loves humanity and our Creator!
So well worded, and very emotionally honest. Thanks for sharing this timely and so needed reflection. May the Lord use it as only He can.

Holy Spirit saturated!

Daniel 2:20-22 - the New Living Translation:
�Praise the name of God forever and ever, for
HE has all wisdom and power.
HE controls the course of world events;
HE removes kings and sets up other kings.
HE gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.
HE reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though HE is surrounded by light."
Ezekiel 21:26 "This is what the Lord GOD says: 'Remove the turban, and take off the crown. Things will not remain as they are: exalt the lowly and bring low the exalted." Though I do not agree with some of what you've postulated here, you've conveyed your opinions well. Thank you for sharing. r

Not just things, terrible, gruesome, horrible things. We know the guidance, we just need to follow it. May the world change for the better, especially in this regard.
