Remember one time before
When evil and violence prevailed,
Man with wickedness filled his mind
By man's sin, God was assailed!

Until God so regretted
Having thus created mankind,
For all the goodness He had shown
Man's pride was all He did find.

Then God, Himself, said "Enough!
You've taken this matter too far,
I'll put a swift end to this mess
Due to the sinners you are!"

But for old Noah and kin
The world by water He destroyed,
Removing man from the earth's face
Wrath of God, Justice employed.

"As in Noah's day," Jesus said
"When men are so given to sin,
Again I will come to judge all
And to this world bring an end!"

Are we approaching that time?
Is man's sin reaching the limit?
Remember it's happened before--
Only now, we could be caught in it!

I too wonder if we are not approaching that time.  Joyce made a wise comment when she said, "We must be ready." He has said He will return and no man knows the hour.  You have written a good poem.  Thank you for sharing this.  Wanda

The lax morality seen all around today, makes me wonder if we're not nearing the time of His coming, since He said times  would be as in Noah's day, drinking and merrymaking. Them important thing is for all to be ready.  Nice poem.  Thanks.

For a long time now I have seen the bumper sticker.. saying that If God doesn't come soon, he would have to offer an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah..and I kind of think is true..I personally feel we are seeing the signs of the season..as he said we would. Looking forward to the blessed hope!
