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.
