How long before the battles rage?

 How long before the battles rage?

This planet called earth and all of its

inhabitants that we all live on is dying

a little more each day as our God,

whom we all love, is watching with not

a single word to say, hate has taken

over, as evil now reigns the king. It

seems His son Jesus Christ our savior is

missing from the cross on which he

hanged for sins of our own faith. Looking

now from humanities gate where the

floodwaters are running high. How long

before all the battles rage for the war

that has already begun with religious

zealots, addicts, and false prophets filling

up their warrior ranks, as this war is

something different though, as our souls

are on the line for humanities, own

reflection can no longer be seen in the

mirror of humanity's own design. Our

morals have been falling with each

passing of the sun, as lust has murdered

what was left of love off, for it takes too

long to grow. Peace is a noble concept,

almost like a dream when you sleep at

night, yet it will never take hold as we

cannot even find it down deep inside our

own hearts, as man's thirst to take on

knowledge grows, temptation outweighs

fate, for he has bitten from the forbidden

fruits, that grow in the darkest place, man is

changing God's creations, from the blood

of his own race, changing his designs because

we believe as Satan did, he also believed

it is a better choice, which is causing more

pandemics that are one hundred times

deadlier than what we have already seen.

Then we have religious wars, someone

please tell me how that sounds okay

it sounds more like a conundrum because

God does not condone killing, especially

when it is in His name. Can we stop it?

Before it starts, the writings are on the wall.

So why don't you open your eyes and step

out into the light, stop burying your heads

in the sand, start looking all around you,

then take a good look at yourself and when

you are done. You tell me what you see and

remember that we have voices that can and

must be heard, so use it or you will lose it,

be a leader, not part of the herd. I Believe

right now is time to come together as

a voice of one person shouting as loud as

we can for we have waited much too long,

stand up, shout out go it in the name of love
