Is it me or ...


1 John 5:21 

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

 

Reaping

 

Is it than ... because flesh reaps flesh?

And that from Adam on down

Depravity communicates best through it

since we all can crawl into our own

 

Will life get better in days ahead?

Or is it by now beyond repair?

If the future is built on our children's thoughts

through examples set by leaders out there

 

Are we any better than ... the ones we give fame?

Are not we worse ... than we know they are?

I agree with the last for we are to blame

for tolerating leaders like ourselves so far

 

Since days of old it has been clearly written

that society is an extension of hidden self

And values and thoughts in leaders hidden

are often the results of our inner-self

 

Is it possible to win a battle with self-option

if not directed by the Lord?

He knows every mine field of deception

and you can trust His every word?
