My prayer list held a disaster That was burdened with three more There has never been a time I felt compelled to pray for Catastrophic multiples: The burned out victims of Hawaii, The earthquake rubble in Morocco, Survivors of Libya’s flood deluge Plus Hurricanes and Tornados Here in the land that we call home. And all within the last two months. So many in such a very short time. Each one a calamity of people Where lives and dreams were all destroyed With loved ones left behind to weep.
Are we seeing here a prelude of Four Horsemen and Apocalypse? Have they begun their awful ride? They carry different banners now: Not War, but the deadly fires of Hell Not Famine, but death-dealing floods Not Pestilence but shaking down tall buildings Not Death, but gales of immense destruction
Some say there is another Horse, A Fifth, called Nuclear Annihilation His banner flaunts the end of time That snuffs the world before the Trumpet blows. It’s kicking at the stable door And we can hear the timbers cracking.
But grazing calmly in the pasture Is the dappled horse called Six His banner is the slow starvation Of everything that supports life. He need not ride, he only waits For greed, indifference and sloth To find the way to **** the earth And everyone who lives upon it.
Is there any place to hide Is there anything to do Any way to make it better. Can which sacrifice atone For what we’ve done to our own planet - What we’ve done to our own lives. One book seems to have the answer It’s on the Best Seller list. Almost every household owns one. Almost no one ever reads it. Maybe finally…it’s time. ljm
4 Cataclysms in only 2 months, Mass shootings every day. Saber rattling all over the world....God is really mad at us !! Maui 8/7; Idalia 8/30; Morocco 9/8; Libya 9/10 and the month is only half over.
