Who cares ... really?


Ecclesiastes 7:9-10 

Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,
For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
10 Do not say,
“Why were the former days better than these?”
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

 

Who cares? Don’t despair as some still do …

 

Finally, we’ve made it … we’re not where we should be

By now we don’t know the difference and who really cares?

There’s nothing new under the sun and what was will surely be

Makes me think of the “Black Plague” that swept Western sphere

 

Darkness overcame common sense … where good reasoning flourished

Spiritually the Son seems gone from the average western heart-set

It started somewhere years ago when prosperity simply nourished

The flesh in general to serve the gods of comfort and the one called “Molech”

(god of the Amorites who demanded child sacrifice(like abortion?)

 

Celebrating our condition with the immune system destroyed

Every wind of doctrine flushes even the call of common sense

From the Mid-East and the Far, their religions now deployed

Overwhelm the Western mind as it more and more gets dense

 

Observing Western Europe and its newfound satellites

In love with political correctness as a new call to perfection

The plague now keeps spreading with an unending appetite

We want to be united in the soon arrival of condemnation

 

The U.S. of A is committing itself with the rest of the world

United we will stand and fall … against “reborn” Israel

We finally drew the battle lines as our leaders regularly insult

The Lord and His chosen towards the ringing of the final bell

 

Isn’t today’s reasoning an eye-opening flagrant oxy-moron?

Trying to appear like the source of “Light” seems an understatement

Daring folks in the land to disagree as liberalism just pours on

Their defiled “will” with unending guile to our Nation’s detriment
