America in Crisis

by Richard Lloyd Cederberg — Read all 280 poems by Richard Lloyd Cederberg

The 82nd Airborne (a group of some 3,500 paratroopers) have been deployed to the Middle East. For all intents and purposes, this is a clear indicator that war is imminent. The soldiers were ordered not to bring cellphones, portable video games, or any other kinds of devices that could be used to communicate with friends and family back home. This out of concern that details of their movements might leak out. It seems 2020 is going to be a pivotal year for the future of America, and planet Earth. A Poetic/prose synopses from a Christian eschatological perspective.

Poem Artwork
Alas…in this theatre of
enmities, hostilities,
and antagonisms;
the vision of our forefathers
s -t -r -e -t -c -h -e -d past recognition,
language without coherent discernment,
confusion calling good evil, and evil good,
the ludicrousness of pronoun correctness
transgender demons square-dancing,
welcoming in the next communism
depravity going mainstream,
dissention and unrest,
utter madness harvesting
the miseries of foolish choices,
godless narcissism excoriating Truth,
goodness, honor, decency, integrity, justice;
this once healthy planet in bondage to human greed
.
{{{AMERICA IN CRISIS}}}
.
An invasion
pressing frantically
against sacred borders,
OUTLANDERs and demons,
expatriates and refugees,
mothers and children
(some innocent,
some not)
slithering along
corrupt paths, amassed
on failing global borders,
the DECLINATION
of objective reasoning,
a dark anti-Semitic underbelly
flouting the Constitution,
ethical constipation
struggling to
bowel-move the once
venerated American dream
as one nation under myriad gods…
The Creator being eroded, eclipsed,
and liquidated, and constructed right
beneath our noses (after 9-11) 800 plus
Fema Detention Camps, for a
soon-coming-police-state, that will
incarcerate, or behead dissenters, and Christians,
and all of it brought to you on 4K ultra HD smart led TV
.
In this [prelim] ValleyofDecision,
America’s remnant careens together
on the vanguard of spiritual and
corporeal anarchy, as the soul
of a once great nation is
mangled by madness
demagogues, mass-murderers,
narcotics, degenerates, pornographers,
career-criminals, witchcraft, genetic-aberrations,
transgenderism, apostasy, profligate libertines,
TV-prosperity-preachers
arrogance
delusional poets
declamatory politicos
and all the malefic exploiters
of our children’s fading-futures
Lying
Divided
Deceived
Disillusioned
iconoclastic collectivists;
narcotized as they gorge on
the vomit of political-correctness,
as ‘WE THE PEOPLE’ view freedom’s strength
cruelly re-written by a final generation of
hateful myopic leftist visionaries, and
Socialisms swell of gormless naifs…
.
But there are those who know, and there
are those who grieve for the disunited heart
of a once noble-nation being sifted now as wheat.
And there are those who clearly understand, that a house
divided against itself will never stand, and those too clearly
see the ancient prophetic words coming into focus…
.
“FALLEN - FALLEN is Babylon the Great
SHE has become a home for demons
and a haunt for every evil spirit,
a haunt for every unclean
and detestable bird.
For ALL
the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of HER adulteries,
the Kings of the Earth committed adultery
with HER, and the merchants of the Earth
grew rich from HER excessive luxuries.
Come out of her
my people,
so that you will NOT share in HER sins.”
.

RICHARD, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POIGNANT SHARING. WHAT CAN I SAY TO THE AMERICA THAT PLACED THIS BLIND, EGOTISTICAL, DIS-TEMPERED ONE TO ADMINISTRATE IN THE HIGHEST SEAT OF OUR NATION? AT THIS POINT, HOW WOULD, 'I TOLD YOU SO' EVEN HELP? THE ONLY HELP WE HAVE...IS THE HELP WE'VE ALWAYS HAD...GOD! NOTHING IS HAPPENING THAT HE DID NOT ALREADY WARN US ABOUT. THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED BY THE WORD OF GOD TO DO...'THE JUST MUST LIVE BY FAITH'. JOHN HERLIHY SHARED A WORK THAT ALSO SPEAKS FOR ME; ALL WILL BE WELL. BECAUSE IN THE END, WE WHO BELIEVE KNOW; ONLY GOD'S WILL...WILL BE DONE. LET US CONTINUE TO PRAY RICHARD, FOR THE BATTLE, INDEED, IS GOD'S NOT OURS. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

What we feared 3 years ago is exactly what's happening right now. What are we leaving for our kids and the generations to follow? How will history look back? And ditto what Odin said.

An astute and well thought out assessment of our messed up world. If only more cool heads like yours could truly unpoliticize their conferences and meetings. But... like you've stated clearly, too many have drunk the maddening wine. Kudos, Richard. Thank you for posting. I hope it gets it due with the readers on this site.
