America ... remember


Satire

 

1 John 3:10 New English Translation (NET Bible)

10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Everyone who does not practice righteousness—the one who does not love his fellow Christian—is not of God.

 

 

America

 

America remember! Soon judgment will be at the door?

You’ll be judged for sure through the Light, you have received

The law was revealed to you in “your” land many times before

And has become a weight around your neck cause of your unbelief

 

Your sins against your own, like from the unborn to the poor

You wallow in iniquity and drink such as carbonated water

You compromise on everything that God prepared for you

and when your final day arrives your excuses will not matter

 

You follow “puppets on TV through the art of propaganda

Self-proclaimed prophets of what’s deemed right or wrong

Fair and balanced greed with its many roots in defilement

“Blindness”, yes, we enjoy it, because of “freedom” we belong

100% truth! This is very well written, expressive and clear. It is what this country has come to and without repentance, there will be a bitter reaping.
