Profligate= dissolute--recklessly... wasteful
I think this is the best word to explain how
both "Wall st" and "Main st" ruined the economy
Scripture presents the work of the Creator symbolically, in order to change the often
wasteful and profligate way, that mankind lives
++{}++
We purposefully blind ourselves from
the truth that is plain to see
Then,when everything crashes around us
We blame the rest of humanity
We cry out to our Creator asking why
As if he's partly to blame
We rarely worship honor and praise
Yet, importune without shame
When we don't get the answers we desire
We begin to doubt that God exists
The human race can be so despicable
What we need is to feel God's fist
How many of us think of what He said
"Love God with your whole heart"
"Pray unceasingly, in spirit and truth"
"Pray believing you will receive"
"Have faith and trust in My promises"
Oh Lord, of everything that was, is, and will be
We have torn asunder Your holiness and beauty
Yet we dare come before You to heal our land
Even though none of us truly follow Your plan
Magnificent Creator of all that exists
Humanity has lost respect and does not resist
The evil that runs rampant in our society
We expect help from You, while living a lie
I fail to understand how we can be so cruel
Destroying Your gifts, ignoring Your rules
We've corrupted this planet and our fellow man
Still, we look to You for a helping hand
Yes,I boldly come before Your throne
of mercy and grace
Begging You not to leave us alone
To once more save the human race
Hopefully all of God's people say Amen!
Thank you ,Father, Son, ,Holy spirit
Now and forever! Amen!

"I fail to understand how we can be so cruel
Destroying Your gifts, ignoring Your rules
We've corrupted this planet and our fellow man
Still, we look to You for a helping hand..."
Couldn't help but focus on this stanza.
Again I'm thinking, as I'm sure you would agree, that the events that caused you to write this reveal the age old lesson that "not much can change for the better until "men" (people) themselves change"
And that's what the spiritual path is for, if only people would work from the inside out first... Sadly, those who don't, their actions, have a huge effect on everyone our planet.
Nice work, michael
Soulfully expressed - Amen to another excellent write!!

Our gene pool has declined since the Greeks defined god.

What we need is to feel God's fist
I sadly think you may be right, Tiger Lily.

Powerful, thought provoking prayer - we are the key to our own undoing. Very well penned.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
your deserved justice has to come from within your soul, and from the forgiving souls of others you have wronged, all others not just humans. You pray truth Eileen and pray it well, and other better too, or they'll go to....... Hugs! Jasmin Horst
