"But, you wonder a lot anyway."
Is what some of you might think or say
And while that may be true
It still causes me to wonder about
Some of the things that I see people do.
I mean just because today is yours
To command folks who work under you
Is no reason to lord it over them because
You are but a detail like the rest of us
Who the LORD GOD can move down any day
And then like the Egyptians of old
What will you answer when you
Have lost your power hold
And most or all of your gold?
And likewise to folks who've been done wrong
Why choose to hold on to hurts generations-long
Why not give it to the LORD GOD to heal
You of the pain and hurt that you feel
Because all of us have things that
We did not always get right.
Yes, I know the fresher the hurt, the more
Justified and tired you feel about a sore
That aggressors will not allow to heal
Because old wounds are dug in anew
Sometimes it seems, and it makes you
Want to throw caution to the winds
And say, "Never again!"
Yes, there are things that I wonder about
But, GOD has had me learn that forgiveness
Is necessary as Jesus taught us on the cross
As we keep living for GOD so that our
Souls will not be lost.
Yes, I wonder why Tulsa and why now
But, I keep right on praying anyhow
Though it makes me sad because I know
That we have a long hot summer ahead
And I wonder how many more and what else
Will be counted among the dead?
Asking forgiveness and forgiving are
Necessary tools of the Christian trade
But, prayer warriors we are going to
Have to be busier than ever because
When feelings and tempers run as hot
As the temperatures of our summer season
Sometimes folks are devoid of reason.
Provocation and justification, both, need
The blood of JESUS to cleanse the stains
And the hurt of sin that remains.
And yes, some wrongs cannot be rectified
Just as some feel that they are justified
In doing whatever they want to do
But I stand to remind all of you
We are a superpower in the world because
That is what GOD has decreed
But, that status can be taken away
If we do not watch our actions indeed.
Yes, I know that this may not go down
Well with some and be met with a frown
But, I have a duty to GOD and to you to say
"Let's all cherish this democracy that GOD
Has let be known as the U.S.A."
And remember that all of us are going
To go home one day...
And too, the angels of GOD walk the land.©

Oh, did anybody remember Covid-19 and the reason
That it may be set to run amuck this summer season
If the LORD doesn't intervene, so
Prayer warriors, let's keep sending up prayers
For peace, love, and healing to come to all the world's lands
And for the U.S.A. to shine its light of peace
Leadership and freedom for our fellowman.©

I apologize to my regular blog readers for the political tone of this blog, but this, I felt, needed to be said. I just wish that I had the leaders as a captive audience and that I could be heard with my words reaching past hurt, pain, righteous indignation, by right of birth, etc. to say, "Stop it, Y'all; Handwriting! Handwriting! Handwriting on the wall!" Be safe.
Walking by faith
