Jesus said that He would bring

The kingdom to us. It is up to us

To be ready He told us to look out

For others. To make sure they had

Shelter, food and water and basically

Give of ourselves to others as He gave

Himself for us. There are many who

Follow His word, but a whole lot who

Ignore it and watch out only for themselves.

They seek personal gain and position.

The position leads to seeking control

Which leads to total control and power

And brings misery to those who wish

To have a peaceful life, helping those

Less fortunate. The powerful will dictate

Condition which brings hardship to the meek.

But the meek have faith in the word.

They continue to endure and find peace.

They trust in Jesus and are thankful

For the things they do have and share.

They forgive and pray for their oppressors.

The world is full of dictators who control

Their citizens and cause them to be miserable

They will have a price to pay. We were told

To help not to make them worse. When His

Kingdom comes He will separate the wheat

From the chaff. The good will be happy

And the controllers very sad.
