Humanities struggles,
(these days and weeks now)
expressed (in ways) like a runaway train;
radically unstoppable momentum…
.
And unless you’ve been
secreted away on a desert island,
somewhere inside a pearly-shelled-fortress,
or inside some lavish genies bottle,
it’s become glaringly apparent
that humanity has
crossed the Rubicon;
loneliness is widespread,
the rule of man is in freefall,
pain and anguish are rampant,
hate-driven shooters kill children
delusional fantasists create paradise,
painkillers and alcoholism are corporate
hauteur, and analphabetism, are prevalent,
narcissism molders in selfie-self-centeredness,
the moral compass of human-beings is declining
transhumanism and transgenderism are acceptable
rational consideration is becoming violent retaliation
ignorance, (the root and stem of all evil) is everywhere,
tattoos, piercings, and scarring’s enhance plainness,
the worship of demons, and of ‘mother earth’, is
considered suitable religious expression, and
ineptitude maneuvers to govern… (*)
.
How can one not see all this
maneuvering and deception too
breeding an inclined host of sheep,
who freely support the initiate tactics
of endeavoring Marxist Seers,
preparing all societies
(Did you know
you’re being prepared)
for the prophesied emergence
of an (at first) assuasive politician,
who becomes a murderous global autocrat?
.
Can YOU see
.
the dreadful machinations of
arrogant Rulers bent on governing
the malleable natures of those deceived,
goading the sophistry of a dark intelligentsia,
the ‘green-clerisy’ spouting formulas
and ‘isms’ to glamorize
the ancient precepts
of Baal Merodach, and Mephistopheles,
as a new way to be reverenced, all as they
celebrate the declination of Truth and Reason?
.
STILL … despite it all,
Each one of us presses on,
with all the propelling eagerness
we can muster from this
dying-clay-vessel,
pursuing what
we’ve each
been given to achieve,
and to offer others willingly…
.
Given this… and
knowing how powerless
I am to change what is now
overtaking this planet;
I beseech thee,
Father God, that
WHAT IS EVIL, LET ME SEE AS EVIL,
but what is true and noble and pure,
all those things unspoilt; if there is
any moral excellence,
or anything estimable,
strengthen me to meditate on these things,
.
and I am fully persuaded, that
I will never outgrow the warfare I face,
and that I must continue resolving to fight, and
that what good there is in me, and all that is laudable,
the empowerment I have been invested with to bless others,
these things the world system did not afford me, the Creator did,
and I must find comfort, and rejoice always, because the
world can NEVER take these gifts from me…
