Times are
tough: difficult at best
So much
hatred: so much unrest
People angry
with the world: alarmingly
Go out into
the city streets: destroying things
Life holds no
value: many are maimed; killed
What has life
come to in these last days?
People
everywhere seeking greater and greater thrills
There is no
love lost between mankind
Are they so
wrapped up within themselves?
Are they so
very unaware: as to be so totally blind?
Whatever
happened to kindness?
Whatever
happened to brotherly love?
Ah dear Lord
in heaven up above...
Please help
those blinded by earthly lusts
Look into
their hearts and find what’s lost
Without your
blessed love we are so very lost
Ah the
dangers that: overcome us
When it is no
longer: “In God we trust!”
“Crime of every kind has sky-rocketed
Out of proportion to the growing
population
60 percent of criminal cases go
unsolved
Only one crime in 12 reaches a court
sentence
The police chief of London says that
Last year was the worse year of the
century
One boy in six is sooner or later
referred to a court
40 percent of all male children living
in the USA
Will be arrested for non-traffic offences
In many cities, women are afraid to go
out after dark
Rapes, assaults, sadistic violence and
robberies are sky-rocketing”
This was all written in 1966. 50 years
ago.
The closing years of the ill-fated
Kingdom of Israel were
Marked with violence and bloodshed
such as had never
Been witnessed even in the worst periods
of
Strife and unrest under the house of
Ahab...
King after king was assassinated to
make way
For others ambitious to rule
Prophets and Kings page 279
Will we ever
learn?
