I'm amazed how in days so sweet When I would kneel at your feet Closely making sure I caught Life's lessons that you taught Not for one moment did I ever think Our world would be brought to the brink
But as years went by, I came to know Our world is not a one man show With so many other diversified nations Billions of people all different opinions Too much disparity causing discontent Injustice and hate no thoughts to repent
Leaders all staying pat with the status quo No efforts made to help humanity grow Politics and religion the only game in town Lies and laws flaunted bring nations down Humanity focused on eat drink be merry Crying what happened, things now so dreary
Now when I reflect on how we believe Bible tales of war from cover to cover I'm seeking help that I may discover How humanity can find a way of reprieve Is there no way we can replace hate with love I'm hoping the world will seek the fountain from above
Peter has me wondering what's going to happen in 2012. Excellent poem, Eileen. If everyone believed like you and I (and some others) maybe there would be love and peace. But Christians can do some might stupid things, speaking of Mel Gibson... Really enjoyed this Dear Friend, Janet xxxxoooo
I like Panda's take on your important message poem..
" Seek the Spirit "...
That is the answer...and stay on the right side of Almighty God..
Because come December 21 st 2012...We are all going to be goners !
Eileen, this is truely a lament for reason and humanity, but I fear that the words fall on too many deaf ears who think people like you and me are of no real value, only money, oil and power matter to them. Well written and expressed
With the heat you have experienced as well as what the east coast is getting now, we all need to seek a bit of that fountain from above...cooling & faithful spiritual waters, Ed
So well stated, Eileen. I feel that if each of us do or show as many kindnesses that we can each day, goodness will prevail. When will leaders realize that wars don't really accomplish anything?
A wise man once told me that 'It is not hate which precipitates war..it is the failure to accept it as such' It took me many years to understand those words and I think finally as the events of today unfold I am beginning to truly see his wisdom. Your words are right on and give us much to ponder.
I recalled, as I read this Eileen, the story of Noah. How for 120 years he preached of a coming disaster of water that was never before experienced in history.
He was a voice in the wilderness preaching daily on the the need for people to reach up and "get right" with their Creator. No one listened, all danced, caroused and reveled in their own wanton lusts and pursuits until the day came when the door was shut, and it started to rain. Too late bucko!
Such is the mindset of many today.
Keep wielding your sword ...

Amen. There comes a time when earthly measures fall so short. We have evil in our midst. I am reading "Jerusalem Countdown," by John Hagee. I am finding out things I never knew about a lot of things. I got it online from Wal Mart. Nine bucks. Well spent.
Great write sis, but as the days of Lot: they ate drank married and life went on, never looking up to see their decadence or need to repent. So it was and so it is, today!
This is the story of the author’s great great grandparents, Edward Lewis and Sarah Crosby, who were convicts transported to Van Diemen’s Land in the 1840s. It is told from the perspective of a detective agency searching for what happened to Edward, w
