Sobered by devastating waves,
I consol myself
that the Lord prophesied
they should come.
Looking around I see couples
callously trading in their partner
for another one,
like a new toy to please them.
I see parents heartlessly
abandoning their children
to institutions,
so they can doggedly pursue
possessions and prestige.
I see people leaving the path
and hiding in embarrassment
when called “good”.
Most people, trying to appear sophisticated
are adopting the world’s dress,
degrading humor,
and lascivious ways.
People are rushing around,
Busy but purposeless,
Empty and bored.
“Entertainment” has become
an exercise in degradation,
a pitiful attempt to fill the void.
As the darkness is increasing,
I hold tighter to my candle,
a gift from Him,
and continue to find my way
through these last days.
