How long will this madness last? Among our kin and fellow men Will it now the end come fast? Will we all be praying then? As the heavenly lights go out And darkness covers all around Will there be a stifled shout? Will forgiveness there abound? Planet earth and virus man Is teetering on the abyss edge Try recalling if you can The covenant the sacred pledge Free will we were given then To play and shape our futures own Can you blame the mighty when The prodigal returns alone? To late the shout to save the day The wilderness it echo’s still The devil still he hides away With lost poor souls his coffers fill Redemptions road it lies ahead The twists and turns a hand of thorn The withering tree is almost dead Will there be a sapling born?

Wow, very serious thoughts here Jon, and put into words so well. I guess it's so good I just don't know what to say now. Wow. |

Hi Jon... It may be heavy, but you told it like it is!! People need to wake up and realize what's going on all around them. We're like a pack of sheep being lulled to sleep by the media and politicians. Somebody needs to ring the general alarm!! Great writing here... as you can see, I got right into it!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Not so much heavy,Jon, as intense. These days faith is like cotton candy...a taste in the mouth then melting away...nothing substantial at all and people wonder why the world is like it is? [This message has been edited by Paula Finn (edited 08-15-2000).] |

Hoping, yes...hoping. But the important thing is to share the message and network the means. Loved this, Jon. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Ah Jon, some works just cannot elicit a prompt response, simply because you made the reader think! And in that, I say, well done! |

Jon, Great poem. This reminds me of a poem I wrote long ago. I like the way you incorporated religion into this poem also. I did not do the same with my poem, but it is along the same line as yours. Watch for it. Again, great poem. Garfield |
