Untitled.

A quick word: I wrote this because I started thinking about how so much of our society tells us that God doesn't exist anymore. We rely on our own abilities to make money and survive without ever looking to God for help. This is not to mention the fact that we barely give Him praise, unless He does something to bless us. We have forgotten His infinite power and practically mock Him on a daily basis. We curse in His name, make fun of those who try to spread His word, deny His existence...but at the end of our lives, surely we will call on Him! But the question is, will He answer you? Will He answer me?


Our modernity has learned to speak back to us.
And it says that we don't need You, Lord.
It says that we got here without You.
And maybe it's true in a way,
Because Your hand is not seen
In most of what is created by man.
Weapons to kill.
Jails to punish.
Scholars to judge.
The mob to riot.
We have turned into monsters,
Devouring our young and showcasing the carcass
To scare off any that may try to change things.
Some of us even hide our fangs in the light of day,
So that we may appear to be "good"
Even though only You are truly good.
You see all that is within us
From the beauty to the rot of evil.
Although You remain, it's almost as though You are absent,
Waiting to see when Your children will make a change
And believe in You again.
Because believing in what is of this earth is without reason.
For what is of this earth shall remain on Earth,
While what cannot be seen is what will be judged.
Lord show us all the road back to You
And salvation.
