In reviewing the various candidates positions this morning, I have become extremely discouraged. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians. . . none of them seems to have any moral convictions or values. I cannot in good conscience vote for someone who thinks it’s a good idea for taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion or that embryonic stem cell research is a good option! I think Yeats’ poem, The Second Coming, is becoming more prophetic each passing day.
THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
O yeah, people want CHANGE…….they will get change, but it will NOT be positive. I am tired of all the Eeyores out there, crying that God has left them, that He doesn’t bless them. Oh no, that is not the case! It was people who told God they don’t need him. It started with Adam and Eve. They were led to believe that they didn’t need God. Since then Generations followed and so when I hear those call out that God is forsaking them, I have news for you. YOU ASKED FOR IT! (Not you personally, but the world as a whole)
God I pray, be with us during what could be dark times ahead.
