Today's history
James 5:3 New English Translation (NET Bible)
3 Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure!
Lively pictures portraying death and all this for survival
Blood spilled in great quantity for the welfare of the strongest
All seems like a constant quest and a way now called: “normal”
As forms of bestiality expose the darkness in heart’s corners
Instinctively the human mind draws lines of civilization
Observe these as “natural” boundaries as long as things go well
In history, we’ll often discover to our own consternation
That evil surfaces in quantity far above just show and tell
Millions of lives discarded like they represent no value
Whatever besets mankind that his blood turns into acid?
Reality then departed as he has no insight of truth
As he butchers all he can at the expense of the masses
Jan Wienen
