Change towards the same ...


Psalm 106:43 

43 Many times He delivered them,
but they had a rebellious attitude,
and degraded themselves by their sin.

 

Change towards the same

 

The season is changing … darkness lingers longer.

The night time now extended … robbing the day

It is rearranging, because it seems stronger,

kind of underhanded the time when children play.

 

Politicians juggle … truth mostly ignored

walking on the slippery slope of their persistence.

Common folks struggle … often just bored

like they’re overdosed in their existence.

 

Always the helpless hope … against appointed sense

seldom giving up … in their constant hunger.

A lifeline to hold … breaking down the fence

that so abrupt cannot hold any longer.

 

Truth will survive … that is not a question.

Like always through the ages … it is alive and well.

Constant evil knifing … always suggesting

to skip many pages … to live by show and tell.

 

Is it a wonder to see this degradation

and see greed grow in justified selfishness?

Somewhere up yonder the price of mutilation

will be known … in our helplessness.
