Some
will be long in recovery, because
Some
refused to hold their tongues,
used a worldwide pandemic
to stomp the life out of those
still breathing
with politics, religion, position, on and on and on…
forgetting everything precious,
they could not hold back hidden malice,
which poured forth a continuous venom
day after day in comments and posts- every slanderous
accusation against their fellow man, the lack of love
evident in every communication, hanging in the stratosphere
like the droplets that threaten to annihilate all hope, judgements
thinly disguised as intellect, facts about face masks
which cannot keep back the spread of hate, after all…
only the spread of death, but divided we are in our compassion
for others, when we have been ruled by what is most convenient for us for too long…
defeated, some crouched in corners weeping
for the Christ-less desolate hearts of those
who said, “We believe he lives”, yet still, dragged Him
from the throne, of their own construction, back to Golgotha
and nailed him again and again and again to that cross…
as if the murderous words they spoke towards one another –
deadlier than any global pandemic,
costlier and more contagious than any living virus
did not matter.
Where there is
No Love For Each
Other And The Rest
Of God’s Face Nature
There is No Jesus
Just a
Five
Letter Word
An Idol Folks
Worship Without
Love
For
(All) God
At least by
The Teachings..:)

Dawn, Sadder words have never been written! The emotional cost for those that are not grounded in truth and depend on others with their haughty eyes and hateful lips. It is so sad, the state of our world. May God wrap his arms around those that do not know Him and may they find Him in the midst of this storm.

A powerful commentary on the damage done to others’ hearts and our own souls with hateful judgements online.

Dawn: This is a beautifully written poem. As I comment on this, I wonder about and pray for the protest demonstration going on downtown where I live. This is related to the death of that man in Minneapolis. Please pray for all the medium-sized towns in our nation.
