A WORLD IN CHAOS

 
I think of the world
A place in crisis
Murder by bullets
By knives and rockets
Or death by choking
But death by these ways
Are evil as death by
Accidents, overdose 
And disease are commonplace
And sad.  We become immune
Until it affects us, then we 
Cry out to the Father,
Ask for forgiveness and
Try to recall what He
Expects from us
We are sad in this way,
But at least know whom 
To turn to
We should bring this concern
To our daily lives in 
A regular manner
To do so is to live fully and 
In the moment even
When the moment is gray
We are loved and the Holy Spirit
Is always with us as promised
By Christ, who taught us and
Died for our sins, then left us
To take His place with His Father
We must love Him above all and
Our neighbors as we wait for
His return.  He knows weakness
And quest for power
And control in our world
That seemingly rejects peace
He will deal with the offenders
As He takes us under His wing
