O wretched life that makes of man
something no one can understand
he's torn apart by too many roles
and loses sight of his main goals
society losing control has exploded
too much strain, man is over-loaded
with logic and reason locked in a tomb
man keeps trying to get back in the womb
The days are filled with too much war
the psyche isn't prepared anymore
a culture that was soaked in seeking pleasure
don't wish to give up its hard earned leisure
the family of man is getting ready to embark
on a prophetic journey that is cruel and stark
modern man can no longer afford to hibernate
he is forced to come forth and face his fate
In times like these there's a demand
for all brave hearts to show their hand
both men and woman must take their place
wherever the enemy shows its face
no longer is this just a military war
we are being challenged like never before
our enemy is using tactics we can't conceive
teaching children, in human bombs to believe
We must awake to the perils of our times
teach our children to be aware of such crimes
madmen pursue nirvana through mass murder
using barbaric methods with untamed fervor
this should not be made a matter of politics
all of our people must unite against these tactics
Wake up politicians we need serious leaders
not rhetoric to make us a nation defeated
etw
The way the world is these days -what must the children thinK?
As always,your poem has made me think deeply.

You like me, know the Rules of Engagement have changed irredeemably, ...there are no rules anymore..
And we just have to be cleverer, sharper and faster to the draw than them...
It's that simple....Alan Ladd knew that in Shane...:)

he is forced to come forth and face his fate
I think that truly applies in all areas of life today, Tiger Lily - and I truly wonder how it will all end.

Anyone who is touched by the Holy Spirit of the Most High is given something to share, and they are to do so in any way they can.
Eileen, something is churning in you, you are seeing a bigger picture spiritually.
No matter who stands against you with their rank rhetoric, those of the scornful intelligentsia, those that speak evil of whatver they do not know, and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves, stand strong and do not be swayed in your calling in this season.
