And to make matters worse…

Enter now into an era of unexampled hierarchy...

Wednesday, April 12, 2023


Poem Artwork
Enter now into an era
of unexampled hierarchy.
Aristocratic masques twirling,
spinning, and swaggering, all while
the rodomontade of woke conspirators
refer to an indisposed American empire as
another old shoe in need of a cobbler…
.
Woke minutiae,
Woke particulars,
Woke agendas and goals
exacerbating a nations faults,
in a war of attrition against
well-intentioned parents
who struggle to
actualize their dreams
and keep their children breathing…
.
How did such cruel hatred find us?
Did it sneak into our lives unawares,
or was it allowed entry because
modern thinking repudiates
the Creator from every
facet of life.
How can it be that
loving parents are forced
now to send their progeny out
into a growingly corrupt system,
assuming their safe return,
but all the while knowing
some might be brainwashed by
God haters and perverts, or gunned down
by demonized lunatics, and never come home…
.
Lurking behind whitewashed walls,
a maze of sinister non-programs brush off
decaying infrastructures, so moguls can gold-leaf
plummeting financial mega-structures- rewarding the
affluent with more than they need, while burdening
the middle-class with more than they can bear, in
an effort to reconfigure what most hold dear,
as shadow forces aggrandize the clerisy,
and justify the improbabilities of an
illusionist’s political platitudes.
.
Today, as the working-class
groans under increasing burdens,
and America’s engine sputters to
regain momentum, it becomes
increasingly evident, that
the grandiloquent notions
of doddering politicians don’t
solve problems, they create them-
as is evidenced in the war on parents,
a return to energy dependance,
a terrorizing crime surge,
border debacle’s,
record inflation,
fentanyl tsunamis, death,
division, violence, and hatefulness…
.
And now…. to make matters worse,
there are hundreds of verifiable experts,
worldwide, confirming that UFO incursions
[and abductions] have risen a staggering
800% in the last 10 years…
.
Really?

LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Doomsday has been reported many times before in different ways and different times. We are recovering from a pandemic. As a result of 40 years of removing important regulation from government, the working class that once had good income and respect has literally disappeared in the effort of parents, like mine, a truck driver, wanting their children to have a college education and not have to toil like they did and retire on a union pension early.

The Internet has had both good and bad influence on society. No longer does anyone have to go to an old dictionary or encyclopedia, or worse to a library, to find out basic information. But the Internet provides much disinformation created by the so-called, self-made "experts" who have exploited people with their clever lies going back to PT Barnum and the traveling revival shows that took poor people's money for a little song and dance. Modern-day mega churches, so many disgraced by their greedy leaders, continue the charade of offering eternal life for the collection plate.

While multiple channels of cable television delve into the recesses of how many UFOs have actually adopted people and arrived in the past to create the human being (in their own image?), real investigative reporting is finding out many secrets that have been conveniently wiped from history. Largely because of their atrocity like so much of black history during the Jim Crow era that lasted way too long and should have never happened after the Emancipation Proclamation.

I think the problem today is the one that Alvin Toffler predicted in one of his books after his most famous Future Shock. We just have too many alternatives, free time and money to follow them--make the wrong choices. Some people are just easily susceptible, and even addictive, when it comes to doing the wrong thing. That includes politicians and the working class people, as well as billionaires on power trips.

lol yes I heard and we are in for the ride, wherever it takes us,
we need to stand firm with our beliefs, and know God exists in
every realm and avenue, nicely penned, :)

Every word is true. You have perfectly displayed the day we are living in. God is a gentleman, he doesn't go where he's not invited. An important pen, Richard. Keep telling the truth.

I feel the profound earth shattering magnitude of the watchman anointing in you brother as I have read many times In Ezekiel 33 !

That mantle is with severe responsibility...And it reminds me I must be held accountable for all that I say and present to everyone...... I believe the ones that are called to bring apostleship and help bring white garments to the body of believers and give argument to the world against the forces of darkness and cast it out through warfare declaration in His Word, blood and spirit.

I take so much comfort that we were born for victory, yes I said absolute "triumph" in such confusion, unrest, upheaval, division and heavenliest revealing all things to this world. We are nothing without Christ..

I take absolute comfort we agreed with our Heavenly Father to come here into this great experiment in love to serve and witness. We were born for this time because we are the most strongest for battle in all history between the forces of good and evil... There is such spiritual madness and division going on...Yes I know there's chaos all over the country and world and billions of people I believe are looking for depth of answers to WHO we are, that we are MORE than our bodies, than our struggles and are yearning to find what's deeply missing and that is a RETURN to the knowing we are His creation rays of our bright light leading others to His precious love, answers and see His glory magnifying in the earth... Any nation that has blessed Israel has been blessed.....Anyone that has battled with it, just look at the spiritual forces there !!!

Brother we are in for more severe birthing shaking and we have to trust above all the forever looser was cast out as lightning, has no power over those that have been blood purchased. Satan has set up battle stations in the earth in many cities across the world and he still is so dumb thinking he's going to win but the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob sits upon His thrown and laughs all the time at their shenanigan's . It's marvelous what we are witnessing and profound miracles have been revealed in many places and it is God making His presents known in the earth to say I CREATED the miracle!!! Sit quiet, listen to nature that are always glorifying the Father, pray and keep your spirit fed. I've been in the old testament in Zechariah chapter 9, Ezekiel chapter 38, Isaiah chapter 17 , which I believe foretells the wars and rumors of wars and if our people, humble, pray, seek His face, repent Ezekiel 36:25-27. Richard I was taken up through dreams , as Paul was taken up into the third heaven and hears words not to be spoken of. 2 Corinthians chapter 12. In that profound vision I saw the marriage feast and they had a glorious place for me. Everyday I must fight the unseen forces and keep the mantles of truth and it is not easy sometimes with life's aggravations, unexpected happenings much largely due to dark forces. Our truth, peace, salvation, righteousness in Him must be given #1 priority above all. I'm finding when I open more to Him He reveals billions of doors of His will for us, his character and His love. What we are witnessing is an all our war right before our very eyes and the world between light and dark. Our hope should be in Him and not the thoughts of what is happening in the natural....When we pray in it releases a fire anointing, directs our heart to what needs to be changed and how to intercede for others, hearts and nations... Enjoyed your shofar blast of a watchman's true cry....

Peace, Dove
