Turmoil
Job 5:6-7 6 For evil does not come up from the dust,
nor does trouble spring up from the ground,
7 but people are born to trouble,
as surely as the sparks fly upward. Turmoil
Turmoil is raging ... twisting, turning
All is cloudy ... appearing very vague
Only time will clear and surely filter
all these problems in forgetful ways
It seems hopeless ... we feel helpless
It is so strange ... this expected plague.
Part of regular living ... in subsistence
Uprooting peace ... each and every day
Give a little; take a lot ... justifies all behavior
Giving up rights ... death around the bend
Accountability lost ... no love for neighbors
Little left in sight ... towards day’s end
